The class marks of a continuous distribution are :
1.04, 1.14, 1.24, 1.34, 1.44, 1.54 and 1.64
Is it correct to say that the last interval will be 1.55 - 1.73? Justify your answer.

Solution:

We know that

Class mark is the mid point of a class interval

The difference between two consecutive class marks is equal to the class size

1.14 - 1.04 = 0.1

1.24 - 1.14 = 0.1

1.34 - 1.24 = 0.1

Here the class size is 0.1

Class interval 1.55 - 1.73, (1.73 - 1.55) = 0.18 is not equal to the class size.

So it cannot be the last interval of the class marks

Therefore, class interval 1.55 - 1.73 cannot be the correct class interval for the class marks given.
