Question

The following frequency distribution table shows the cost of living in a city in a period of 2years. Draw histogram for this frequency distribution:

Cost of living	2000 - 2500	2500 - 3000	3000 - 3500	3500 - 4000	4000 - 4500	4500 - 5000	5000 - 5500	5500 - 6000
No. of months	3	4	2	5	3	2	4	1

Answer 1

We represent the class limits on the x-axis on a suitable scale and the frequencies on the y-axis on a suitable scale. Taking class intervals as bases and the corresponding frequencies as heights, we construct rectangles to obtain a histogram of the given frequency distribution.

Here as the class limits do not start from 0, we put a kink between 0 and the lower boundary of the first class.
