Step-by-step solution
3 stepsLet's use the provided table to explain how to draw the histogram.
Review the frequency distribution table.
The table provides the following information:
- Class Limits: The intervals for the data (e.g., ).
- Frequency: The count of data points in each class.
- Class Boundaries: The continuous intervals for plotting on the x-axis (e.g., ).
- Class Center: The midpoint of each class.
The frequencies are:
- : 5
- : 13
- : 9
- : 6
- : 8
- : 8
- : 1
The sum of these frequencies is . This matches the total frequency written in the table. (My previous check had a calculation error, apologies for that. The total is indeed 50.)
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.
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 (boundaries ): 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 (boundaries ): 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 (boundaries ): 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 (boundaries ): 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 (boundaries ): 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 (boundaries ): 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 (boundaries ): 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.
