The formula to determine the number of classes given by Sturge’s Rule is which one of the following ? 2) K= (log N) 1.322 3)K = $\frac{1+3.322} {(log N)} $ 4) K = $\frac{3.322}{(log N) + 1} $ Where :
1) K = 1+ 3.322 (log N)
K = Number of classes
N = Total number of observations
$\log N$ = Logarithm of the total number of observations
Sturge's Rule Formula for Number of Classes
Sturge's Rule provides a guideline for determining the optimal number of classes ($K$) for a frequency distribution based on the total number of observations ($N$).
The correct formula, as given in the options and widely accepted, is:
$ K = 1 + 3.322 \log_{10} N $
Where:
- $K$ represents the number of classes.
- $N$ is the total number of observations.
- $\log_{10} N$ is the logarithm base 10 of the total number of observations.
This formula helps ensure that the data is grouped effectively without being too broad or too fragmented.
