The modal class is the class interval of

__________

The median class interval is the class interval

containing the _______ and is found using
________________.

The maximum range is an ______ of the

________ possible value ______ the smallest
possible value
Pause Point

The modal class is the class interval of highest

frequency.

The median class interval is the class interval

containing the median and is found using
cumulative frequency

The maximum range is an estimate of the biggest

possible value subtract the smallest possible value
