What is Class Width in Statistics?

The class width is the difference between the upper and lower boundaries of a class. It determines the range of values that are included in each class.

Class Width Formula

The formula for calculating the class width:

Class Width = Range of Data / n

  • Range of Data = The difference between the maximum and minimum values in the dataset = Maximum value – Minimum values
  • n = Number of classes

How to calculate class width?

To calculate the class width for a datasets, you can follow these steps:

Step1 – Find the Range of the Data = Maximum value – Minimum value

Step2 – Determine the Number of Classes = n

Step3 – put all values in formula = Range of data / n

Solved Problem

Example- A dataset of exam scores for a class of students:

62, 75, 82, 88, 95, 67, 72, 90, 78, 85, 93, 68, 75, 80, 87, 92, 76, 81, 89, 94

Given,

Maximum value = 95, Minimum value = 62

Range of data = Maximum number – Minimum number = 95 – 62 = 33

Number of classes = n = 5 (let)

Class width = Range of data/number of classes = 33 / 5 = 6.6
