Explanation:

Step1: Find the range

First, we need to find the maximum and minimum values in the data set. The minimum value ($\min$) is 15 and the maximum value ($\max$) is 42. The range is calculated as $\max - \min = 42 - 15 = 27$.

Step2: Calculate the class width

To find the class width for $k = 6$ classes, we use the formula: $\text{Class Width} = \frac{\text{Range}}{k}$. Substituting the values, we get $\text{Class Width} = \frac{27}{6} = 4.5$. Since class width is usually rounded up to the next whole number (to ensure all data points are included), we round 4.5 up to 5.
