Question

How will yoi use the sturge's appriximation to draw a frequency distribution table?

Answer 1

Sturge's approximation is used to determine the number of classes a frequency table should contain.

$k=1+3.322log_{10}n$

Where k is the number of classes and n is the number of observations in the dataset. The number of classes can then be used to determine the class width of an interval.
