Solution

Here, the maximum and minimum values of the variate are 95 and 29 respectively.

So the range = 95 – 29 = 66

Here, we will take class size 10. So we must have 7 classes each of size 10

Lower limit of first class interval is;

And, upper limit of first class interval is:

Therefore, the frequency distribution in which the lower limit is included and upper limit excluded is:
