A series showing the sets of all distinct values individually with their frequencies is known as _______.

  1. continuous frequency distribution

  2. simple frequency distribution

  3. cumulative frequency distribution

  4. none of them

For the mid-values 4,8,12,16,20 the first class of the distribution is _________.

  1. 0-8

  2. 1-7

  3. 2-6

  4. none of them
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Mid-values are calculated as (lower limit + upper limit) / 2. For the first class, if the mid-value is 4 and the interval width is 4 (based on the difference between consecutive mid-values), the class is 2-6, where (2+6)/2 = 4.
