Here is a data set:

5890 5640 4960 4970
4810 5600 4970 5400
6140 5120 5850 5890

5220 5690 5410 5770
5630 5570 4620 5670



The goal is to construct a grouped frequency distribution table (GFDT) for this data set. The GFDT should have 10 classes with a "nice" class width. Each class should contain its lower class limit, and the lower class limits should all be multiples of the class width.

This problem is to determine what the class width and the first lower class limit should be.

What is the best class width for this data set?
optimal class width = 

What should be the first lower class limit?
1st lower class limit =
