Answer

(i) From graph,

Class marks of two successive class are 36 and 30.

Class size = 36 - 30 = 6.

Hence, the class size of each class is 6.

(ii) Lower limit of class = Class mark - Class size2\dfrac{\text{Class size}}{2}

= 48 - 62\dfrac{6}{2}

= 48 - 3

= 45.

Upper limit of class = Class mark + Class size2\dfrac{\text{Class size}}{2}

= 48 + 62\dfrac{6}{2}

= 48 + 3

= 51.

Hence, class whose class mark is 48 is 45 - 51.

(iii) From table,

Class with class mark = 54 has greatest frequency.

Lower limit of class = Class mark - Class size2\dfrac{\text{Class size}}{2}

= 54 - 62\dfrac{6}{2}

= 54 - 3

= 51.

Upper limit of class = Class mark + Class size2\dfrac{\text{Class size}}{2}

= 54 + 62\dfrac{6}{2}

= 54 + 3

= 57.

Hence, class 51 - 57 has highest frequency.

(iv) Frequency table for the given distribution :

Class markClassFrequency
3027 - 334
3633 - 3912
4239 - 4518
4845 - 516
5451 - 5720
6057 - 638
