Following data gives the number of children in 40 families:
1, 2, 6, 5, 1, 5, 1, 3, 2, 6, 2, 3, 4, 2, 0, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 2, 2,4,3,2, 0, 5, 1, 2, 4, 3, 4, 1, 6, 2, 2.
Represent it in the form of a frequency distribution, taking classes 0-2,2-4, etc.
Sol:
Minimum observation is 0 and maximum observation is 6. The classes of equal size covering the given data are: (0 – 2), (2 – 4), (4 – 6) and (6 – 8).
Thus, the frequency distribution may be given as under:
