Convert the following frequency distribution to exclusive form :
| Class Interval | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 30 – 34 | 7 |
| 35 – 39 | 9 |
| 40 – 44 | 13 |
| 45 – 49 | 6 |
| 50 – 54 | 3 |
| 55 – 59 | 10 |
Use this table to find :
(i) The true class-limits of the fourth class-interval.
(ii) The class-boundaries of the fifth class-interval.
(iii) The class-mark of the third class-interval.
(iv) The class-size of the sixth class-interval.

Answer
Adjustment factor
= = 0.5
Subtract the lower limit of each class by 0.5 and add 0.5 to upper limit of each class.
| Class Interval | Exclusive Class Interval | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 30 - 34 | 29.5 - 34.5 | 7 |
| 35 - 39 | 34.5 - 39.5 | 9 |
| 40 - 44 | 39.5 - 44.5 | 13 |
| 45 - 49 | 44.5 - 49.5 | 6 |
| 50 - 54 | 49.5 - 54.5 | 3 |
| 55 - 59 | 54.5 - 59.5 | 10 |
(i) The true class limits of the fourth class interval is 44.5 - 49.5.
(ii) The class-boundaries of the fifth class interval is 49.5 - 54.5.
(iii) The class-mark of the third class interval
=
=
= 42.
Hence, the class mark of third class interval = 42.
(iv) Sixth class interval : 54.5 - 59.5
Class size = Upper limit - lower limit
Class size = 59.5 - 54.5 = 5.
Hence, the class size of sixth class interval is 5.
