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 observations, the smallest and largest of which are and , respectively. Apply the preceding procedure to choose classes for limit grouping. Use approximately seven classes. Note: If in Step you decide on for the class width and in Step you choose 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).
