A study is to be carried out on the type of content most watched on a well-known streaming platform by teenagers in a city. To do this, $150$ students in grade $3^\text{o}$ from three different randomly chosen middle schools are asked. Identify the following elements of the statistical study:

1. a) Population.

A group of $25$ young people has recorded the number of times they have been to the cinema in the last quarter, obtaining the following data:

$2, 1, 0, 3, 2, 1, 2, 0, 1, 4, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1$

A video game store has carried out a study on the number of peripherals (controllers, keyboards, mice) that customers buy in a single visit. However, some of the information in the frequency table has been lost. We know that the study was carried out on a total of $N = 80$ customers.

Complete the missing data in the table knowing that the absolute frequency of buying 2 peripherals is twice that of buying 4, and that the cumulative relative frequency of buying 3 peripherals or fewer is $0,875$.

Peripherals ($x_i$)	Absolute freq. ($f_i$)	Relative freq. ($h_i$)	Cumulative absolute freq. ($F_i$)	Cumulative relative freq. ($H_i$)

A technology laboratory is testing the battery life in hours of a new drone battery. They have grouped the results into a continuous variable frequency table, but they have only provided us with the class marks ($x_i$) and some frequencies.

It is known that all intervals have the same width and that the lower limit of the first interval is $1,2$ hours. Reconstruct the complete table (intervals, class marks and frequencies) knowing that the cumulative absolute frequency of the third interval is $42$ and that the total number of drones tested is $N = 50$.

Class mark ($x_i$)	Absolute freq. ($f_i$)	Cumulative absolute freq. ($F_i$)
$1,45$	8
$1,95$	14
$2,45$
$2,95$
$3,45$	3

To organize an e-sports tournament, the organization analyzes the weekly hours that young people in a club dedicate to training. The following cumulative relative frequency table ($H_i$) shows the distribution, but the data for the central categories are missing.

If we know that there is the same number of young people who train "From 5 to 10 hours" as young people who train "From 15 to 20 hours", and that the club has a total of $120$ members, calculate exactly how many members train in each of the intervals in the table.

Training hours	Cumulative relative freq. ($H_i$)
$[0, 5)$	$0,15$
$[5, 10)$
$[10, 15)$	$0,65$
$[15, 20)$
$[20, 25]$	$1,00$

In a study on water consumption per household in a neighborhood, the following cumulative frequency data have been obtained, but the individual absolute frequencies have been omitted.

Consumption ($m^3$)	Cumulative absolute freq. ($F_i$)
$[0, 10)$	$12$
$[10, 20)$	$30$
$[20, 30)$	$65$
$[30, 40)$	$90$
$[40, 50]$	$100$

It has been decided that households consuming more than $30 m^3$ will pay a surcharge. However, after a review, it is discovered that $10$ households in the interval $[20, 30)$ actually consumed $32 m^3$. Calculate the new corrected percentage relative frequency table ($\%$) and determine what percentage of the total households will finally have to pay the surcharge.

An educational center wants to carry out a representative survey on the use of digital books. The school has $400$ students in 7th grade, $350$ in 8th grade, $300$ in 9th grade, and $250$ in 10th grade. They want to extract a sample of $130$ students using stratified random sampling with proportional allocation.

Draw the table of the total population and, from it, create the frequency table of the sample indicating how many students from each grade level should be surveyed. What is the relative frequency of 9th grade students in the sample compared to that of the total population?

A survey has been carried out on the number of pets in $200$ families. The results are presented in the following incomplete relative frequency table ($h_i$).

No. of Pets	$h_i$
0	$0,35$
1	$x$
2	$y$
3	$0,12$
4 or more	$0,08$

Calculate the values of $x$ and $y$ knowing that the mean number of pets is exactly $1,25$ (for the interval "4 or more" use the value $4$ as the class mark). Once found, construct the complete absolute frequency table.

A local council analyzes the age of the users of a sports center. The data for the first $160$ users are summarized in this cumulative frequency table:

Age	$F_i$
$[0, 18)$	$40$
$[18, 35)$	$95$
$[35, 60)$	$140$
$[60, 85]$	$160$

If $40$ new users register during the afternoon, all of them belonging to the $[18, 35)$ age group, how does the relative frequency table change? Calculate the resulting percentage relative frequency table ($\%$) after the new registrations and comment on how this change has affected the relative importance of the group over $60$ years old.

The following frequency table is available for a discrete quantitative variable $X$ representing the number of times a group of students has been to the cinema this month. However, the absolute frequencies $f_2$ and $f_3$ have been erased.

$x_i$	$f_i$	$F_i$	$H_i$
0	5	5	$0,125$
1
2		31
3	9		$1,000$

Calculate the total number of data ($N$) and the missing frequencies to complete the table. Justify each step using the properties of cumulative and relative frequencies.
