The following are the marks (out of 100) of 60 students in mathematics.
Construct a grouped frequency distribution table with width 10 of each class, in such a way that one of the classes is 10 - 20 (20 not included).
Step 1: arrange these number in ascending order.
Step 2: Make the frequency distribution table as follows:
The class interval of (0-10), (10-20) etc. are given. So we can write the class interval and the corresponding frequency.
A value like 10 will always be counted in the interval where it is the lower limit, i.e., 10-20 and not in 0-10 (where it is the higher limit)
| Class interval | Frequency |
| 0-10 | 4 |
| 10-20 | 7 |
| 20-30 | 5 |
| 30-40 | 10 |
| 40-50 | 5 |
| 50-60 | 8 |
| 60-70 | 5 |
| 70-80 | 8 |
| 80-90 | 5 |
| 90-100 | 3 |
| Total | 60 |
