Question

Consider the following marks (out of $50$ ) scored in mathematics by $50$ students of $8 t h$ class:
$41, 31, 33, 32, 28, 31, 21, 10, 30, 22, 33, 37, 12, 05, 08, 15, 39, 26, 41, 46, 34, 22, 09$ .
$11, 16, 22, 25, 29, 31, 39, 23, 31, 21, 45, 47, 30, 22, 17, 36, 18, 20, 22, 44, 16, 24, 10, 27, 39, 28, 17$ .
Prepare a frequency distribution table

Solution

If we prepare a frequency distribution table for each observation, then the table would be too long. So for convenience, we make groups of observations like $0 - 9, 10 - 19$ and so on. We obtain a frequency of distribution of the number of observations coming under each group. In this way, we prepare a frequency distribution table for the above data as below:
