Question

88 equispaced data points are used to plot a histogram. The possible span of each interval is/are -

• A. 8 units
• B. 11 units
• C. 4 units
• D. 12 units

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

4 units

$88$ equispaced data points can be considered as $88\text{units}$.

To plot a histogram, we need to segregate these data points into equal intervals.

We know,
$88\text{units}=4\text{units}\times 22$
$88\text{units}=8\text{units}\times 11$
$88\text{units}=11\text{units}\times 8$

Hence, we can have $22$ number of intervals, each having a span of $4\text{units}.$

Similarly, $11$ number of intervals for a span of $8\text{units},$ and $8$ number of intervals for a span of $11\text{units}.$

For example, with $88\text{units}=11\text{units}\times 8$ representation, the following type of graph is obtained:
