Construct a grouped frequency table for these data such that there are five equal class intervals with the first class having a lower boundary of 41.5 kg and the fifth class having an upper boundary of 61.5 kg.
Solution
To construct the grouped frequency table, we need to divide the range from \( 41.5 \) kg to \( 61.5 \) kg into five equal intervals.
\( \text{Total range} = 61.5 - 41.5 = 20 \) kg
\( \text{Class width} = \dfrac{20}{5} = 4 \) kg
The intervals are:
41.5โ45.5
45.5โ49.5
49.5โ53.5
53.5โ57.5
57.5โ61.5
Next, count the number of weights in each interval:
