(a) 7 classes. (b) Class 1: lower class limit = 15 upper class limit = 19 Class 2: lower class limit = 20 upper class limit = 24 Class 3: lower class limit = 25 upper class limit = 29 Class 4: lower class limit = 30 upper class limit = 34 Class 5: lower class limit = 35 upper class limit = 39 Class 6: lower class limit = 40 upper class limit = 44 Class 7: lower class limit = 45 upper class limit = 49 (c) Class width = 5

Work Step by Step

(a) Just count the number of classes: 7 (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: $20-15=25-20=30-25=35-30=40-35=45-40=5$
