Sturges formula to determine magnitude of classes

Sturges' formula to calculate magnitude of classes I=\[\frac{L-S}{1+3.222log_{10}(N)}\]

I= Class interval

L=largest value

S= smallest value

N= No of observations 

Problem:- In a group of 50 workers, highest wage is Rs. 250 and lowest wage is 100 per day. Find the size of the interval?

solution

Highest value L=250

Lowest value S= 100

No of observations N=50

I=\[\frac{250-100}{1+3.222log_{10}(50)}\]

 =22.576
