HIGHEST AND THE LOWEST DATA VALUE.

RANGE= HIGHEST DATA VALUE – LOWEST DATA VALUE

RANGE= 48 - 15

RANGE = 33
CLASS INTERVAL
Sturge’s Formula
K=1+3.3 log N K= number of class intervals
N= total number of
K= 1+3.3 log 30 observations/data

K= 1 + 4.87

K= 5.87
K=6 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
