Question

Data was collected for 300 fish from the North Atlantic. The length of the fish (in mm) is summarized in the grouped frequency distribution table below. Lengths (mm) Frequency 140 - 1431144 - 14716148 - 15171152 - 155108156 - 15983160 - 16318164 - 1673What is the class boundary between the fifth and sixth classes?class boundary =

Answer 1

From the given data, the class boundary between the fifth and sixth classes is thus evaluated as follows:

step 1: Determine the upper class limit of the fifth class.

The upper class limit of the fifth class is

`159`

step 2: Determine the lower class limit of the sixth class.

The lower class limit of the sixtth class is

`160`

step 3: Evaluate the class boundary between the fifth and sixth classes.

Thus, we have
