Q.8. Find the actual lower class limits and upper class limits of the classes :
10 - 19, 20 - 29, 30 - 39 and 40 - 49. Ans. Classes are 10 - 19, 20 - 29, 30 - 39 and 40 - 49.
Difference between upper limit of one class and lower limit of next class 1=
∴ Adjustment of factor 1
0.52
= =
Subtracting the adjustment factor from the lower limits and adding it to all the
upper limits.
Thus, classes become,
9.5 - 19.5, 19.5 - 29.5, 29.5 - 39.5 and 39.5 - 49.5.
Hence, actual lower limits are 9.5, 19.5, 29.5 and 39.5 and actual upper limits are
19.5, 29.5, 29.5 and 49.5.
Q.9. Find the actual lower and upper class limits and also the class marks of the
classes : 1.1 - 2.0, 2.1 - 3.0 and 3.1 - 4.0. Ans. Classes are 1.1 - 2.0, 2.1 - 3.0 and 3.1 - 4.0.
Difference between upper limit of one class and lower limit of next class.
2.1 2.0 0.1= − =
∴ Adjustment factor of class 0.1
0.05.2
= =
Subtracting the adjustment factor from lower limits and adding it to the upper
limits. 1.1 0.05 1.05− = and 2.0 0.5 2.05.+ =
Thus, classes become 1.05 - 2.05, 2.05 - 3.05 and 3.05 - 4.05.
Hence, actual lower limits are 1.05, 2.05 and 3.05 and actual upper limits are
2.05, 3.05 and 4.05.
In this way class marks are :

35 - 39 10
40 - 44 12
45 - 49 13
50 - 54 8
55 - 59 4
Ans. The fourth class if 45-49 and next class is 50 - 54
Adjustment factor 50 49 1
0.52 2
−= = =
Thus, actual limits of class 45 - 49 is 45 0.5 44.5− = and 49 0.5 49.5.+ =
Hence, class is 44.5-49.5.
(b) Sixth class is 55 - 59.
Adjustment factor 0.5=
∴ Class boundaries are 55 0.5 54.5− = and 59. 0.5 59.5+ =
i.e. 54.5-59.5.
(c) Third class is 40 - 44
Actual class limits are 39.5 - 44.5
∴ Class mark 39.5 44.5 84.0
42.0 422 2
+= = = =
(d) Fifth class is 50 - 54
∴ Lower and upper limits are 50 and 54.
(e) Third class is 50 - 54
