Correct Answer Explanation
Class 40–50 is split into 40–45 and 45–50 (each with class interval of 5).
Unequal Class Interval Splits:
- 40–50 → 40–45 (freq: 9) and 45–50 (freq: 12)
- 50–60 → 50–55 (freq: 7) and 55–60 (freq: 16)
- 60–70 → 60–65 (freq: 10) and 65–70 (freq: 9)
- Other classes (0–10, 10–20, 20–30, 30–40, 70–80, 80–90, 90–100) retain class interval of 10.
Why:
To make class marks more representative of the concentrated data in those classes.
