Best Answer

The width of class intervals is normally determined by the data and not whether you want to calculate the arithmetic mean.

For general population statistics you might use class widths of 6 or 10 years.


But if you were studying school children in the UK you might use the following, unequal bands:

Nursery-reception: 2 years

Years 1 and 2: 2 years

Years 3 to 6: 4 years

Years 7 to 9: 3 years (Lower secondary)

Years 10 to 11: 2 years (Upper secondary)

Years 12 to 13: 2 years (A levels).

What are the class intervals if the class width is 10 from the data of 0 to 60?

If you are choosing class intervals in preparation for making a histogram, and if you know that the data all fall in the range from zero through 60 then you could choose the intervals: 0 through 10 inclusive more than 10 to 20 inclusive move than 20 to 30 inclusive ... more than 50 to 60 inclusive

How do you find the interval in a frequency table?

First, you decide how many intervals you need. (Can be between 5-15). Then, you find the range (Max-Min=Range) Next you divide the range by the amount of intervals you wanted. The quotient is the width of your data Example: Intervals(Width=10 and Minimum=28)(When you add the width to the minimum, you should count the minimum too. Instead of 28+10=38, it would be 37 since the 28 count, and to check the answer you have to add ten going down) 28-37 38-47 48-57 58-67 68-77

There is no correlation between class width and student achievement. Class width is arbitrary (there are rules of thumb for class width, and it depends on the range of the data).
