1: Introduction: The data provided to me is the data taken from 50 people and the data is the

hand lengths and foot lengths of them. Both variables are continuous variables as they are
infinite number of values and their data is in decimals.
2: Methodology:
A: No of Classes: 2k>n
2k>50
26>50
K=6
No of classes (For both the variables) = 6
Finding class interval: h= highest value – lowest value
N
For Data A: 1691-1478.304 For Data B: 218.9572-167.6348
