Solution

The frequency table will be as given below:

Wages (in Rs)No.of workers8008103810820282083018308409840850585086018608703870880188089018909004Total30

We represent wages (in Rs) along x-axis and number of workers along y-axis. Taking suitable intervals, we construct rectangle as shown in the figure. This is the required histogram.

(i) Maximum workers are in the wage group 830-840.

(ii) Number of workers getting Rs 850 and more are 1+3+1+14=10.

(iii) Number of workers getting less than Rs 850 are 3+2+1+9+5=20
