Correct Answer Explanation

Class Frequency means the number of values in a particular class.

Key Points:
  • Example: Class 30–40 in the marks distribution has 7 values → Class Frequency = 7.
  • Class frequency is counted using tally marks against each class.
  • Sum of all class frequencies = Total number of observations (e.g., 100 students).
  • Frequency of a specific observation = how many times that value appears in raw data (e.g., 49 appears 5 times → frequency of 49 = 5).
