Here, number of observations, n = 33 The number of classes (k) will be, 2k ≥ n 26 ≥ 33 That is the number of classes is, k = 6 And, the class width ( i ) will be, 𝐻−𝐿 i≥ , [ Here, H = highest observation = ……. , L = lowest observation = ……. ] 𝑘
i ≥ 4.0011 (for example)
Thus, we will consider the class interval/width as, i = 5 Table: Frequency Distribution Table of Weekly Profits (in ‘000 tk.) of Some Roadside Shops.
