To identify the class width for the given frequency distribution, follow these steps:
1. Look at the weight intervals provided in the distribution:
- \(200-204\)
- \(205-209\)
- \(210-214\)
- \(215-219\)
- \(220-224\)
- \(225-229\)
- \(230-234\)
- \(235-239\)
2. Choose any one of the weight intervals to find the class width. For example, let's choose the interval \(200-204\).
3. The class width is the difference between the upper and lower boundaries of a class interval, plus one:
[tex]\[
\text{Class Width} = \text{Upper Boundary} - \text{Lower Boundary} + 1
\][/tex]
4. For the interval \(200-204\):
[tex]\[
\text{Upper Boundary} = 204
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Lower Boundary} = 200
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Class Width} = 204 - 200 + 1 = 5
\][/tex]
Hence, the class width for the given frequency distribution is [tex]\(5\)[/tex].
