Answer

Step 2: Divide the range by the number of classes. \(Class Width = \frac{Range}{Number of classes} = \frac{6}{6} = 1\)

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Find the range of the data by subtracting the smallest value from the largest. \(Range = Largest Value - Smallest Value = 18 - 12 = 6\)

Step 2 :Step 2: Divide the range by the number of classes. \(Class Width = \frac{Range}{Number of classes} = \frac{6}{6} = 1\)
