  1. The number of observations (n) is 65 individuals. The researcher suggests using 7 class intervals to construct a histogram for each variable. Explain how the researcher would have decided on the number of class intervals (K) as 7. 
  2. Theresearchersuggestsusingclassintervalsas10<X≤15,15<X≤20,...,40<X≤45forthe hours per week variable and class intervals 40 < X ≤ 45, 45 < X ≤ 50, ..., 70 < X ≤ 75 for the yearly income variable. Explain how the researcher would have decided the width of the above class intervals (or class width). 
  3. Draw and display a histogram for each of the two variables using appropriate BIN values from part (b) and comment on the shape of the two distributions.
