Days to Maturity for Short-Term Investments. Refer to the days-to-maturity data in Table 2.6 on page 53 . Note that there are 40observations, the smallest and largest of which are 36and 99, respectively. Apply the preceding procedure to choose classes for limit grouping. Use approximately seven classes. Note: If in Step 2 you decide on 10 for the class width and in Step 3 you choose 30 for the lower limit of the first class, then you will get the same classes as used in Example 2.13; otherwise, you will get different classes (which is fine).
