Question

Using 5 classes of width 100 starting at 200, construct a frequency distribution for the following numbers:

440, 386, 563, 403, 571, 448, 484, 496, 212, 696

Use the frequency counts for all 5 classes, starting with class 200 to 299, as your answer.

Group of answer choices

2, 7, 1, 0, 0

1, 1, 5, 2, 1

3, 1, 0, 2, 1

2, 2, 1, 0, 1

Answer 1

First we compute the table as following. Starting at 200 with the width of 100.

	Class interval	Frequency
I	200-299
II	300-399
III	400-499
IV	500-599
V	600-699

Next we go the values given in question and map the range the class interval they fall under.

440	386	563	403	571	448	484	496	212	696
III	II	IV	III	IV	III	III	III	I	V

Based on above we write down the frequencies in the first table. ie.,

	Class interval	Frequency
I	200-299	1
II	300-399	1
III	400-499	5
IV	500-599	2
V	600-699	1

So the order is 1,1,5,2,1. Hence option 2 is correct.
