Answer 1

The required class widths are 3, 8, 13, 18, 23 and 28

Given the frequency distribution that summarizes employee years of service for Alpha Corporation as shown below:

$1-5 \ | \ 6-10\ | 11-15 \ | \ 16-20 \ | 21-25 \ | 26 - 30\ \\ 0\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 20 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 25 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 10 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 5$

The width of each class is calculated by taking the midpoints of each of the class intervals as shown:

For the class interval 1  - 5

width  = 1+5/2 = 3

For the class interval 1  - 5

width  = 6+10/2 = 8

For the class interval 11  - 15

width  = 11+15/2 = 13

For the class interval 16  - 20

width  = 16+20/2 = 18

For the class interval 21  - 25

width  = 21+25/2 = 23

For the class interval 26  - 30

width  = 26+30/2 = 28

Hence the required class widths are 3, 8, 13, 18, 23 and 28
