Question
CBSEENST11024034

Prepare a histogram for the following data (equal intervals):

Wages

325 – 350

350 – 375

375 – 400

400 – 425

425 – 450

Frequency

30

45

75

60

35

Solution

Class Interval

Frequency

Frequency Density

Frequency Density × Minimum Class Interval

325 – 350

30

1.2 × 25 = 30

350 – 375

45

1.8 × 2.5 = 45

375 – 400

75

3 × 25 = 75

400 – 425

60

2.4 × 25 = 60

425 – 450

35

1.4 × 25 = 35
