QUESTION 5
a) Students self-learning time is an integral part in the design of a new curriculum for
courses in the Centre of Foundation Studies, UiTM. The Mathematics Unit for the
Centre wants some idea as to how the learning time is fulfilled among the students.
A simple survey was carried out among a random sample of 120 students for a
particular topic where a minimum of 25 hours of learning time was allocated. The
data pertaining to the survey is as follows:
