### Constructing a Frequency Distribution from a Data Set

#### Instructions:

Refer to the accompanying data set and use the 30 screw lengths to construct a frequency distribution. Begin with a lower class limit of 2.470 inches, and use a class width of 0.010 inches. The screws were labeled as having a length of 2 1/2 inches.

#### Step-by-Step Process:

1. **Complete the Frequency Distribution:**
   Below is a table to fill out the frequency distribution. Begin with the given lower class limit and class width.
   - **Class Limit (in inches):** 2.470
   - **Class Width (in inches):** 0.010

   | Length (in.) | Frequency |
   |--------------|-----------|
   | 2.470 -      |           |
   | 2.480 -      |           |
   | 2.490 -      |           |
   | 2.500 -      |           |
   | 2.510 -      |           |
   | 2.520 -      |           |
   |              |           |
   
   *(Type integers or decimals rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed.)*

2. **Data Set:**
   The following data table contains the screw lengths in inches:

   | 2.481 | 2.502 | 2.511 | 2.515 | 2.486 | 2.492 | 2.499 | 2.472 | 2.509 | 2.502 |
   |-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
   | 2.509 | 2.494 | 2.491 | 2.489 | 2.506 | 2.503 | 2.497 | 2.504 | 2.495 | 2.516 |
   | 2.492 | 2.514 | 2.503 | 2.504 | 2.494 | 2.486 | 2.508 | 2.483 | 2.504 | 2.497 |

### Explanation of Graphs and Diagrams:

If there were any graphs or diagrams provided:
- **Histogram/Frequency Distribution Graph:** Typically, you might plot a histogram where the x-axis represents the length of screws
