Question
Explain the ‘exclusive’ and ‘inclusive’ methods used in classification of data.

Answer

There are two methods of classifying data into class intervals.
  1. Exclusive method: Under this method the upper limits of one class is the lower limits of the next class. In this way continuity of the data is maintained. E.g. class intervals are 0-5, 5-10, 10-15 and so Now 5 is coming twice so is 10 and 15. So the upper limit of the class is excluded, means if a student has obtained 5 marks he is not included in the first group i.e. 0-5, but in the second i.e. 5-10.
  2. Inclusive method: Under this method upper limits of the class interval are also included in that class. The class interval will be made like 0-4, 5-9, 10-14 and so 0 This does not exclude the upper class limit in a class interval. Both class limits upper and lower limits are parts of the class interval.
