Suppose that your data include 4000 observations, and you must choose the number of intervals to represent in your histogram. What does Sturges' rule recommend?( 公式也可以写为m=1 + Log2 (N))
A.
Since 12 is the base 2 logarithm of 4096 (which is close to 4000), we should choose 12 intervals.
B.
The base 2 logarithm of 4096 (which is close to 4000) is 13, so Sturges' rule recommends 13 + 1 or 14 intervals.
C.
The base 2 logarithm of 4096 (which is close to 4000) is 12, so Sturges' rule recommends 12 - 1 or eleven intervals.
D.
According to Sturges' rule, there should be 13 intervals because the base 2 logarithm of 4096 (which is close to 4000) is 12
