Property of Inclusive Series
In an inclusive series-
- Upper limit of class interval is included in same class
- Lower limit of class interval is included in same class
- Both upper & lower limits are inclusive — Correct Answer
- None of the above
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Both upper & lower limits are inclusive
In an inclusive series (e.g., 10–19, 20–29), both the lower and upper limits of a class belong to that same class. A value of 19 falls in 10–19 (not in the next class).
Practical Implication
- Inclusive series are used when data are recorded as whole numbers (e.g., age in years, number of calves born).
- There is a clear gap between class intervals (10–19, 20–29 → gap of 1 unit).
- Class boundaries are found by: Lower boundary = Lower limit − 0.5; Upper boundary = Upper limit + 0.5.
