Thank you, Dennis, for making an effort to provide access to

CHANCE project makes of this issue.

To determine the number of classes for a histogram, Excel uses square root
of the number of observations. Is it also true for the number of
observations greater than 200, say, for 2000?. Does the MINITAB use the same
for determining the number of classes for a histogram?
Any help would be apprecia
Rich, thanks for those comments. I have a few remarks in reply.

To my knowledge the question mark is not commonly used and I think
confusing. What I have seen are the words "neither agree or disagree", "no
