Inclusive Class Interval Second Class
In the inclusive form of class intervals for marks (0–100), the second class interval is:
- 10–20
- 11–20 — Correct Answer
- 10–19
- 10.5–20.5
Explanation:
Correct Answer Explanation
In the inclusive form, the second class interval is 11–20 (not 10–20).
Inclusive vs Exclusive for marks (0–100):
- Inclusive form: 0–10, 11–20, 21–30, 31–40, ..., 91–100
- Exclusive form: 0–10, 10–20, 20–30, 30–40, ..., 90–100
Key Difference:
- In inclusive: both limits belong to same class → gap between classes (10 and 11).
- In exclusive: upper limit of one class = lower limit of next class → continuity maintained.
- Marks are a discrete variable (whole numbers only) → both forms can be used.
