Consider the Frequency Distribution Below, Which Has Single Values as Classes

question 6

Essay

Consider the frequency distribution below, which has single values as classes: $$\begin{array} { | c | c | } \hline \text { Value } & \text { Frequency } \\\hline 10 & 1 \\11 & 3 \\12 & 7 \\13 & 18 \\14 & 10 \\15 & 4 \\16 & 2 \\17 & 7 \\18 & 16 \\19 & 10 \\20 & 6 \\21 & 2 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Describe the distribution of the data. Use this frequency distribution to create two new frequency distributions
for the data, one with four classes of equal width and one with six classes of equal width. Does the frequency
distribution with four classes capture the distribution of the data? Does the frequency distribution with six
classes capture the distribution of the data? Explain your thinking.
