Suppose you are given a data set which consists of 77 observations. The minimum observed value is 9.6 and the maximum observed value is 68.8. Determine the class width which will be used in the construction of a frequency distribution table for this data. HINT: Use Sturge's formula to determine the number of groups before determining the class width.
