Math Problem Statement

Use the given information about the data set and the number of classes to find the class​ width, the lower class​ limits, and the upper class limits. minequals17​, rangeequals115​, 8 classes Question content area bottom Part 1 The class width is    enter your response here. ​(Type a whole​ number.)

Solution

To find the class width, we use the formula:

Class width=RangeNumber of classes\text{Class width} = \frac{\text{Range}}{\text{Number of classes}}

Given:

  • Range = 115
  • Number of classes = 8

Substitute the values into the formula:

Class width=1158=14.375\text{Class width} = \frac{115}{8} = 14.375

Since the class width must be a whole number, we round this to 14.

Thus, the class width is 14.
