(iv) What are the class marks of the classes?

Solution
(i) The eldest (50-55 years) = 1 person
This is because the height of the rectangle with class interval 50-55 as base is 1 unit.
The youngest (20-25 years)= 2 persons
This is because the height of the rectangle with class interval 20-25 as base is 2 units.
(ii) The group containing the most number of teachers is 35-40 years. This is because the height of the rectangle with class interval 35-40 as base is the maximum.
The group containing the least number of teachers is 50-55 years. This is because the height of the rectangle with class interval 50-55 as base is the minimum.
(iii) Class size = The range between the upper and the lower boundaries of the class
For example, the size of the class 20-25 years is 5.
\[\text{ Class mark }= \frac{\text{ Upper limit }+\text{ Lower limit}{2}\]
For class 20 - 25:
\[\text{ Class mark }= \frac{20 + 25}{2} = \frac{45}{2} = 22 . 5\]
Similarly, the class marks of the other classes are 27.5; 32.5; 37.5; 42.5; 47.5; 52.5.
