Answer :

The upper class limits are- 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89

The lower class limits are- 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

The class midpoints are- 24.5, 24.5, 44.5, 54.5, 64.5, 74.5, 84.5

The class boundaries are- 29.5, 39.5, 49.5, 59.5, 69.5, 79.5

And the number of individuals included in the summary is 84.

Here, we are given the following dataset-

Age (yr) when          Frequency

award was won

20-29                       27

30-39                       32

40-49                       15

50-59                       3

60-69                       5

70-79                        1

80-89                       1

Upper class limit is the largest data value that can go in a class.

Thus, the upper class limits are- 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89

Lower class limit is the smallest data value that can go in a class.

Thus, the lower class limits are- 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

The class midpoint is the average of the upper and lower limits of a class. Class midpoint = (upper limit + lower limit)/ 2

Thus, the class midpoints are- 24.5, 24.5, 44.5, 54.5, 64.5, 74.5, 84.5

Class boundary is the midpoint of the upper class limit of a class and the lower class limit of the previous class.

Thus, the  class boundaries are- 29.5, 39.5, 49.5, 59.5, 69.5, 79.5

Frequency gives us the number of individuals/ objects belonging to a particular class.

Thus, the number of individuals included in the summary = 27 + 32 + 15 + 3 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 84
