For e.g- In a class interval, 10-15 only item would be included in between
                       10-14.The UL ,that is, 15 will be excluded.Any item of the value of 15

                       would be included in the next class that is 15-20.
                   2.  Inclusive series:In this series both the LL and UL of a CI are included in
                       that class itself

                        OR
                        An inclusive series is that series which includes all items up to its upper
                       limit.

                       For e.g.-10-14, 15-19,20-24 and so on; So that the items between 10 to 14
                       would be included in 10-14 class and item in between 15-19 would be
                       included in 15 to 19,here LL and UL are included in their respective class
                       only.

                     Conversion of inclusive series into exclusive series:
                       Steps-

                       1.  First find the difference between the UL of CI and LL of the next class.
                       2.  Half of that difference is added to the UL of a class and half is subtracted
                          from the LL of the class interval.
                          For eg.

                                                      Inclusive series

                                  10-14                                            4
                                  15-19                                            9
                                  20-24                                            7
                                  25-29                                            4
                                  Total                                           20
                          Steps:
                                              st
                                UL of the 1  class is 14.
                                 LL of the next class is 15.
                                The difference is 15-14 = 1.

                                Half the difference ½ = 0.5
                                Add 0.5 UL of the class.
                                Subtract 0.5 LL of the class.
