Step 1. Find the Absolute Range

Highest Score – Lowest Score = Range

HS = 98
LS = 48
98 – 48 = 50
Step 2. Find the Class Interval.

Step 3. Set up the classes

𝑪=3

C/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

98 + 1.5 = 99.5 98 – 1.5 = 96.5

Step 3. Set up the classes

𝑪=5

C/2 = 5/2 = 2.5

98 + 2.5 = 100.5 98 – 2.5 = 95.5

• Isobtained by cumulating the frequency
or successively adding the individual
frequency.
• For(CF>), begin cumulating the
frequency from the highest class limit.
• For(CF<), begin cumulating the
