Start the first class with 0 and use a class width of 5 .

Solution

Step 1 :Given the data of the number of hours a sample of 40 subscribers listened to Pandora Radio in a given week, we are asked to construct a frequency distribution with eleven classes, starting from 0 and with a class width of 5. This means we need to count how many times each number in the range of 0 to 50 (with a step of 5) appears in the given data.

Step 2 :First, we organize the data into the following classes: [0, 5), [5, 10), [10, 15), [15, 20), [20, 25), [25, 30), [30, 35), [35, 40), [40, 45), [45, 50), [50, 55).

Step 3 :Then, we count the number of data points that fall into each class. The results are as follows: [0, 5) has 9 data points, [5, 10) has 1 data point, [10, 15) has 13 data points, [15, 20) has 4 data points, [20, 25) has 6 data points, [25, 30) has 2 data points, [30, 35) has 2 data points, [35, 40) has 2 data points, [40, 45) has 0 data points, [45, 50) has 0 data points, and [50, 55) has 1 data point.

Step 4 :Finally, we can conclude that the frequency distribution with eleven classes is as follows: \[\begin{align*} [0, 5) & : 9 \\ [5, 10) & : 1 \\ [10, 15) & : 13 \\ [15, 20) & : 4 \\ [20, 25) & : 6 \\ [25, 30) & : 2 \\ [30, 35) & : 2 \\ [35, 40) & : 2 \\ [40, 45) & : 0 \\ [45, 50) & : 0 \\ [50, 55) & : 1 \\ \end{align*}\]
