Consider the frequency distribution below, which has single values as classes: Value Frequency 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 1 3 7 18 10 4 2 7 16 10 6 2 Construct a new frequency distribution for this data with 4 classes.

Explanation:

The original table (attached to this response) shows single values as classes.

To construct a new frequency distribution for this data with 4 classes, follow these steps:

i. Starting from the least value (which is 10) create groups each of 4 values. For example, the first group will contain 10, 11, 12 and 13. Therefore, we have a class of 10 - 13.

The second group will contain 14, 15, 16 and 17. Therefore, we have a class of 14 - 17

The third group will contain 18, 19, 20 and 21. Therefore, we have a class of 18 - 21

ii. Get the frequency of these classes, we add the frequencies of the members of the class.

For example,

Class 10 - 13 will have a frequency of (1 + 3 + 7 + 18) = 29

Class 14 - 17 will have a frequency of (10 + 4 + 2 + 7) = 23

Class 18 - 21 will have a frequency of (16 + 10 + 6 + 2) = 34

The new table has been attached to this response.
