Answer
On converting the class from discontinuous intervals into continuous intervals.
Adjustment factor = (Lower limt of one class - Upper limit of previous class) / 2
| Classes before adjustment | Classes after adjustment |
|---|---|
| 1 - 10 | 0.5 - 10.5 |
| 11 - 20 | 10.5 - 20.5 |
| 21 - 30 | 20.5 - 30.5 |
| 31 - 40 | 30.5 - 40.5 |
| 41 - 50 | 40.5 - 50.5 |
| 51 - 60 | 50.5 - 60.5 |
Class interval = 10.5 - 0.5 = 10.
Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
