Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class limits refer to the lower and upper boundaries of each class in a frequency distribution. They are used to determine which data values fall within each class. The other options do not accurately describe class limits. A is incorrect because the number of categories is determined by the analyst and may vary depending on the data. B is incorrect because the number of data values in each class is determined by the frequency of the data values, not the class limits. D is incorrect because the width of each class is determined by the class boundaries, which are the mid-points between the class limits. E is incorrect because the mid-point of each class is not the same as the class limits.
