Answer

(a) 8 classes. (b) Class 1: lower class limit = 775 upper class limit = 799 Class 2: lower class limit = 800 upper class limit = 824 Class 3: lower class limit = 825 upper class limit = 849 Class 4: lower class limit = 850 upper class limit = 874 Class 5: lower class limit = 875 upper class limit = 899 Class 6: lower class limit = 900 upper class limit = 924 Class 7: lower class limit = 925 upper class limit = 949 Class 8: lower class limit = 950 upper class limit = 974 (c) Class width = 25

Work Step by Step

(a) Just count the number of classes: 8 (b) For each class, the first number is the lower limit and the second number is the upper limit. (c) It is the difference between two consecutive lower limits: $ 800-775=825-800=850-825=875-850=900-875=925-900=950-925=25$
