Question

Based on the information given in the table, identify the kind of series the table represents :

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Marks}& \text{Frequency}\\ 100-199& 80\\ 200-299& 123\\ 300-399& 34\\ 400-499& 48\end{array}$

• A. Inclusive
• B. Exclusive
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Neither Exclusive nor Inclusive

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Inclusive

From the table, we can observe that the upper limits of a class are not the same as the lower limit of the respective successive classes. For example : the class 100-199 has an upper limit of 199 while the lower limit of the successive class is 200. Which means that the upper limits of all the classes are included in their respective class. Therefore we can call this table as an example of an inclusive series.
