Cluster Frequency
1. **Stating the problem:** We have a data set with values and are told there are 7 clusters (classes) with a class interval of 10.
2. **Finding the limits of the lowest cluster:**
- The lowest value in the data is 27.
- With a class interval of 10, the lowest cluster will start at the lowest multiple of 10 less than or equal to 27, which is 20.
- Therefore, the lowest cluster limits are from 20 to 29.
3. **Frequency of the lowest cluster:**
- Count the data points between 20 and 29 inclusive.
- Values in this range: 27
- Frequency = 1
4. **Frequency of the fifth cluster:**
- The clusters are:
1st: 20-29
2nd: 30-39
3rd: 40-49
4th: 50-59
5th: 60-69
- Count data points between 60 and 69 inclusive.
- Values in this range: 60, 61, 61, 62, 63, 64, 64, 65, 65, 66, 66, 67, 67, 67, 68, 68, 68, 68
- Frequency = 18
**Final answers:**
- Lowest cluster limits: 20-29
- Frequency of lowest cluster: 1
- Frequency of fifth cluster: 18
