To find: The class width of the frequency distribution and tell whether the original data values can be identified.

Answer to Problem 1CQQ
The class width is 20.
No, the original data values cannot be identified.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The frequency distribution table with the following class limits is provided.
Classes | Frequency |
0-19 | 3 |
20-39 | 18 |
40-59 | 21 |
60-79 | 15 |
80-99 | 6 |
100-119 | 5 |
120-139 | 0 |
140-159 | 1 |
Concept used:
Class width is defined as the difference between two consecutive lower class limits in a frequency distribution. The formula to calculate the class width is given:
The above formula is true for all the given lower class limits.
Calculation:
The total number of classes is 8. The first and second lower class limits are 0 and 20. Calculate the class width as follows:
Hence, the class width is 20.
It is not possible to identify all the original data values since the data in the frequency distribution is provided in terms of intervals and the corresponding data values in those intervals are given in terms of frequency.
Thus, it is not possible to identify the original data values.
