Solution
(a) The actual class limit of the fourth class will be 44.5 - 49.5.
(b) The class boundaries of the sixth class will be 54.5 - 59.5
(c) The class mark of the third class will be the average of the lower bound and the upper bound of the interval. Therefore the class mark will be: `( 40 + 44)/( 2)` = 42
(d) The upper and lower limit of the fifth class is 54 and 50 respectively.
(e) The size of the third class will be 44 - 40 + 1 = 5.
