To construct a frequency table for the given data set using four classes, follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the range of the data

The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

• Maximum value: 20
• Minimum value: 1

$\text{Range} = 20 - 1 = 19$

Step 2: Determine the class width

We need to divide the data into 4 classes. To find the class width, use the formula:

$\text{Class Width} = \frac{\text{Range}}{\text{Number of Classes}} = \frac{19}{4} \approx 4.75$

Rounding up to the next whole number gives a class width of 5.

Step 3: Determine the class intervals

Starting from the minimum value, the class intervals will be:

1. 1 - 5
2. 6 - 10
3. 11 - 15
4. 16 - 20

Step 4: Construct the frequency table

Count how many values fall within each class interval:

Class Interval	Frequency
1 - 5	4
6 - 10	3
11 - 15	7
16 - 20	6

Frequency Table:

Hours Spent (Class)	Frequency
1 - 5	4
6 - 10	3
11 - 15	7
16 - 20	6
