27 26 27 26 30 28 29 23 27 26
25 27 18 30 25 26 30 26 28 24

a.) Construct a frequency distribution with classes of equal width

1. Use class size, C= 4

2. Lower limit of first class interval: 8
3. List of all classes, their frequencies, relative frequencies, class boundaries, and
class marks.

Class Frequency Relative Class Class

Interva Frequency Boundaries Marks
