B. Harrison* | 3 | Hoover | 2 | Ford | 4 |
McKinley | 2 | F.D.Roosevelt | 6 | Carter | 4 |
T. Roosevelt* | 6 | Truman | 1 | Reagan* | 4 |
Taft | 3 | Eisenhower | 2 | G.H.W. Bush | 6 |
Wilson* | 3 | Kennedy | 3 | Clinton | 1 |
Harding | 0 | L.B.Johmson | 2 | G.W. Bush | 2 |
Obama | 2 |
Calculation:
The interval is,
The measurement falling into the intervals are 33.
The interval is,
The measurement falling into the intervals are 41.
The interval is,
The measurement falling into the intervals are 42.
According to the Empirical formula the percentage of values falling into the intervals are
Thus, the percentage falling into the given intervals is
