Convert the given frequency distribution into a continuous grouped frequency distribution:
Class interval Frequency
$150-153$ $7$
$154-157$ $7$
$158-161$ $15$
$162-165$ $10$
$166-169$ $5$
$170-173$ $6$

In which intervals would $153.5$ and $157.5$ be included?

(N/A) To convert a discontinuous frequency distribution into a continuous one,we find the difference between the lower limit of a class and the upper limit of the preceding class. Let this difference be $d$. The adjustment factor is $h = d/2$.
Here,$d = 154 - 153 = 1$. Thus,$h = 1/2 = 0.5$.
We subtract $0.5$ from each lower limit and add $0.5$ to each upper limit.
Original Class Continuous Class Frequency
$150-153$ $149.5-153.5$ $7$
$154-157$ $153.5-157.5$ $7$
$158-161$ $157.5-161.5$ $15$
$162-165$ $161.5-165.5$ $10$
$166-169$ $165.5-169.5$ $5$
$170-173$ $169.5-173.5$ $6$

Based on the continuous intervals:
- $153.5$ is included in the interval $153.5-157.5$.
- $157.5$ is included in the interval $157.5-161.5$.
