RULE 1

1st: Arrange data

16 28 35 46
19 29 36 46
19 29 38 47
21 30 40 47
22 31 40 47

26 32 42 50
27 33 44 50
27 33 44 53
28 34 44 55

2nd: Determine the classes

 Lowest value (youngest): 16


 Highest value (oldest): 55
 Range: 55 − 16 = 39

Number of classes:
N=40
K= 6

Class interval:

Class limits:
 Lowest value = 16
 Class interval = 7
 Number of classes = 6

2nd: Classes

 Lowest value (youngest): 16


 Highest value (oldest): 55
 Range: 55 − 16 = 39

Class interval:

Class interval ≈ 6.2, which we can round to 6.


Class limit:
 Class 1: 16 – 21
 Class 2: 22 – 27
 Class 3: 28 – 33
 Class 4: 34 – 39
 Class 5: 40 – 45
