Question

​If several frequency distributions are constructed from the same data set, the distribution with the widest class width will have the
A) ​fewest classes.
B) ​most classes.
C) ​smallest total frequency.
D) ​largest total frequency.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wider class width means that each class includes a larger range of values, resulting in fewer classes overall. Therefore, the distribution with the widest class width will have the fewest classes. The total frequency is not necessarily related to class width.
