Researchers studied the emotional health of 58 12-to 19-year-old foster care adolescent males who reside in a group home in Virginia. Emotional health was measured by having adolescents respond to statements such as “Sometimes I feel so ashamed of myself that I just want to hide in a corner and cry” and “I often blame myself even when I am not at fault.” Responses were scored so that higher scores indicate better emotional health. The average score for the national standardization group was 50. These scores were obtained for the 58 foster care males:   63          28          59          14          59          37          30          37          43              53 14          46          13          39          47          48          46          32          46              14 60          47          67          64          66          55          53          21          42              48 50          55          19          52          44          29          54          73          55              47 32          47          31          59          29          59          52          52          39              41 27          42          65          52          36          42          42          34   Construct a frequency of grouped scored with approximately 10 intervals.
