Transcribed Image Text:**Constructing a Grouped Frequency Distribution**
To construct a grouped frequency distribution for the data provided, follow the instructions given. The data consists of the lengths, in miles, of 25 rivers. Use five classes of the same width.
**Data List:**
- River lengths (in miles): 2650, 2620, 1980, 1870, 1870, 1460, 1450, 1450, 1340, 1280, 1270, 1150, 1070, 970, 925, 911, 891, 859, 790, 770, 751, 717, 688, 660, 642.
**Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice:**
**Option A:**
- Length | Frequency
- 500-999 |
- 1000-1399 |
- 1400-2099 |
- 2100-2499 |
- 2500-2999 |
**Option B:**
- Length | Frequency
- 500-999 |
- 1000-1499 |
- 1500-1999 |
- 2000-2499 |
- 2500-2999 |
**Option C:**
- Length | Frequency
- 500-899 |
- 900-1499 |
- 1500-1999 |
- 2000-2299 |
- 2300-3000 |
Each option provides a different range for grouping the river lengths into classes. The goal is to determine the most appropriate ranges, ensuring equal class width to accurately represent the data's distribution.
