The image contains a question that reads as follows:

**6.** The following scores are the ages for a random sample of \( n = 30 \) drivers who were issued speeding tickets in New York during 2008. Determine the best interval width and place the scores in a grouped frequency distribution table. From looking at your table, does it appear that tickets are issued equally across age groups?

The ages are:  
44, 19, 23, 25, 17, 52, 49, 25, 27, 34, 16, 52, 51, 45, 32, 30, 20, 30, 21, 32, 24, 36, 17, 34, 45, 28, 43, 46, 58, 64.

### Steps to solve:
1. **Determine the Range**:  
   To find the range, subtract the minimum age from the maximum age.  
   \[
   \text{Range} = \text{Max age} - \text{Min age} = 64 - 16 = 48
   \]

2. **Decide on the number of intervals (classes)**:  
   A common rule of thumb is to use Sturges' formula:  
   \[
   k = 1 + 3.322 \log_{10}(n)
   \]
   where \( n = 30 \), which will give the number of intervals.

3. **Determine the class width**:  
   To find the class width, divide the range by the number of intervals. Round up to a convenient value.

4. **Create the grouped frequency distribution table**:  
   Using the calculated class width, create intervals starting from the minimum value and count how many ages fall within each interval.

Once this is done, we can evaluate if the distribution of tickets across age groups is uniform or not based on the frequencies.

Let me compute the number of intervals and class width, and then provide the table.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, if you'd like, I can guide you through the manual steps to compute the grouped frequency distribution and determine if tickets are distributed equally across age groups.

Would you like to proceed with that, or do you have any other questions? Here are five related questions to consider:

1. What are other methods for determining the number of intervals besides Sturges' formula?
2. How does the choice of interval width affect the appearance of a frequency distribution?
3. What conclusions can we draw from skewed frequency distributions in age data?
4. Can you compare this frequency distribution with another sample of driver ages to analyze differences?
5. How do different age demographics affect patterns in traffic violations?

**Tip:** Using a histogram to visualize age data can help identify trends and groupings in the distribution.

The following scores are the ages for a random sample of n = 30 drivers who were issued speeding tickets in New York during 2008. Determine the best interval width and place the scores in a grouped frequency distribution table. From looking at your table, does it appear that tickets are issued equally across age groups?
