1.

The data shown are the number of grams per serving of 30 selected brands of
cakes. Construct a frequency distribution and a relative frequency distribution
using 5 classes.

STEP 1: Find the Range of the data set.


The range is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value.
The range of the data set is:____
Enter a number.___

2. The data shown are the number of grams per serving of 30 selected brands of cakes.
Construct a frequency distribution and a relative frequency distribution using 5 classes.

STEP 2: Find the class width.


Since there are 5 classes (given in the question), we have to divide the range (found in
question 1) by 5 and either round down or round up our answer to the nearest whole
number.
The possible class widths are ___ and ___.
Enter a number in each case. Enter the smaller number first.
3. The data shown are the number of grams per serving of 30 selected brands of cakes.
Construct a frequency distribution and a relative frequency distribution using 5 classes.

STEP 3: Find the five classes. 


One way to find the class limits is:

a. Use the lowest value in the data set as the lower limit of the first class
b. Add the class width (found in question 2) to the lower limit of the previous class
to find the find lower limit of the next class.
c. Repeat this process until you have the five class that will accommodate all the
values in the data set.
d. The upper-class limit of a class is one less than the lower class limit of the next
class.

Using the process described above, identify all the class.
