Determine the class width of each class.
Solution
To correctly determine the class width for each class in the frequency table, we use the following formula:
Let’s calculate the class width for the given classes.
1st Class:
The lower class limit of the next class is .
2nd Class:
The lower class limit of the next class is .
3rd Class:
The lower class limit of the next class is .
4th Class:
The lower class limit of the next class is .
5th Class:
There is no next class, but we
