According to Article 1 of the Constitution, how many representatives there are in Congress is determined by each state's population. A census is taken every 10 years to accurately apportion a state's representatives. The most basic calculation is there is to be one representative for every 30,000 residents. If there are not 30,000 people living in a state, that state will still get at least one representative.
Find the Class Width of the Frequency Table. The lower limit for every class is the smallest value in that class. On the other hand, the upper limit for every class is the greatest value in that class. The class width is the difference between the upper or lower class limits of consecutive classes. All classes should have the same class width. In this case, class width equals to the difference between the lower limits of the first two classes. Simplify to find that the class width is .
To obtain the other upper class limits, you repeatedly add the class width to the first upper class limit until-including the first upper class limit-you have one upper class limit for each class. 8. For each class, count the number of data values in the class. This is the class frequency. You can do this by going through the data values one by one and making a tally mark next to the class where the data value occurs. Counting up the tallies for each class gives the class frequency. The class frequencies should be recorded in their own column.
