Let's use the provided table to explain how to draw the histogram.

  1. Review the frequency distribution table.

    The table provides the following information:

    • Class Limits: The intervals for the data (e.g., 30−3930-39).
    • Frequency: The count of data points in each class.
    • Class Boundaries: The continuous intervals for plotting on the x-axis (e.g., 29.5−39.529.5-39.5).
    • Class Center: The midpoint of each class.

    The frequencies are:

    • 30−3930-39: 5
    • 40−4940-49: 13
    • 50−5950-59: 9
    • 60−6960-69: 6
    • 70−7970-79: 8
    • 80−8980-89: 8
    • 90−9990-99: 1

    The sum of these frequencies is 5+13+9+6+8+8+1=505+13+9+6+8+8+1 = 50. This matches the total frequency written in the table. (My previous check had a calculation error, apologies for that. The total is indeed 50.)

  2. Set up the axes for the histogram.

    • Draw a horizontal axis (x-axis) and label it "Class Boundaries" or "Scores". Mark the class boundaries: $29.5, 39.5, 49.5, 59.5, 69.5, 79.5, 89.5, 99.5$.
    • Draw a vertical axis (y-axis) and label it "Frequency". Scale this axis from 0 up to at least the maximum frequency, which is 13. A scale of 0 to 15 with increments of 1 or 2 would be appropriate.
  3. Draw the bars for each class.

    For each class interval, draw a rectangular bar:

    • The width of each bar will span from its lower class boundary to its upper class boundary on the x-axis.
    • The height of each bar will correspond to its frequency on the y-axis. The bars should touch each other, as the class boundaries are continuous.

    Here's how to draw each bar:

    • For the class 30−3930-39 (boundaries 29.5−39.529.5-39.5): Draw a bar from 29.5 to 39.5 on the x-axis, with a height of 5 on the y-axis.
    • For the class 40−4940-49 (boundaries 39.5−49.539.5-49.5): Draw a bar from 39.5 to 49.5 on the x-axis, with a height of 13 on the y-axis.
    • For the class 50−5950-59 (boundaries 49.5−59.549.5-59.5): Draw a bar from 49.5 to 59.5 on the x-axis, with a height of 9 on the y-axis.
    • For the class 60−6960-69 (boundaries 59.5−69.559.5-69.5): Draw a bar from 59.5 to 69.5 on the x-axis, with a height of 6 on the y-axis.
    • For the class 70−7970-79 (boundaries 69.5−79.569.5-79.5): Draw a bar from 69.5 to 79.5 on the x-axis, with a height of 8 on the y-axis.
    • For the class 80−8980-89 (boundaries 79.5−89.579.5-89.5): Draw a bar from 79.5 to 89.5 on the x-axis, with a height of 8 on the y-axis.
    • For the class 90−9990-99 (boundaries 89.5−99.589.5-99.5): Draw a bar from 89.5 to 99.5 on the x-axis, with a height of 1 on the y-axis.

    This process will result in a complete histogram representing the given frequency distribution.
