Question

What is the term associated with the upper or lower boundary of a set of scores used in the creation of a frequency distribution?

Answer 1

Answer:

Class limits

Explanation:

Class Limits are upper and lower limits which contains a set of scores in a frequency distribution.

The upper class limit of one class and the lower class limit of the next class have a difference.

Class boundaries do not have a difference. This can be best explained with the help of the following example . Suppose we have a data and the frequency table

Time                          

Class Limits              Class Boundaries                 Frequency

1-5                                 0.5- 5.5                                      5

6-10                               5.5- 10.5                                     13

11-15                               10.5- 15.5                                   6

16- 20                             15.5- 20.5                                 8

21-25                              20.5- 25.5                                 5

As shown above the class limits have a difference and class boundaries do not have a difference between the upper limits of the previous class lower limits of the next class.
