Question

Draw a histogram for the frequency distribution of the following data.
Class interval 8−13 13−18 18−23 23−28 28−33 33−38 38−43
Frequency 320 780 160 540 260 100 80

Solution

The given frequency distribution is in exclusive form.
We will represent the class intervals along the x-axis & the corresponding frequencies along the y-axis.
The scale is as follows:
On x-axis: 1 big division = 5 units
On y-axis: 1 big division = 50 units
Because the scale on the x-axis starts at 8, a kink, i.e., a break, is indicated near the origin to signify that the graph is drawn with a scale beginning at 8
and not at the origin.
We will construct rectangles with the class intervals as bases and the corresponding frequencies as heights.
Thus, we will obtain the following histogram:
