Generating the 30 random two-digit numbers:

To generate 30 two-digit numbers randomly, the software Microsoft Office Excel has been used. The following formula has been set in 30 different cells programmed to accept only whole numbers: =RAND()*(99-10)+10 The following 30 numbers were generated by applying the formula: 89, 78, 49, 66, 50, 46, 64, 31, 59, 73, 74, 53, 41, 88, 84, 35, 32, 62, 61, 32, 34, 76, 76, 48, 31, 75, 41, 62, 39, 34.

Setting the class interval: The class interval can be determined using the following formula: i = Range/(1+3.322 log N) (i = Approximate class interval; Range = Highest value lowest value; N = Total number of observations) Class interval = (89 - 31) / (1 + 3.322 log 30) = 9.81 (approx.) = 10

The exclusive method is used to classify the numbers according to class intervals. Setting the number of classes: The number of classes can be determined using the following formula: k = 1+3.322 log N (k = Approximate number of classes; N = Total number of observations) Number of classes = 1 + 3.322 log 30 = 5.91 (approx.) =6

Grouping the data and presenting them in a table: The numbers have been presented in a table using statistical methods. They are classified into six classes having a class interval of 10 in each class. The numbers in each class and the frequency of numbers in each class is also shown.
