Solution
The given table is in exclusive form.
So, first convert it into an exclusive form, as given below:
| Ages (in years) | Number of teachers |
| 19.5 – 24.5 | 10 |
| 24.5 – 29.5 | 28 |
| 29.5 – 34.5 | 32 |
| 34.5 – 39.5 | 48 |
| 39.5 – 44.5 | 50 |
| 44.5 – 49.5 | 35 |
| 49.5 – 54.5 | 12 |
A histogram for this table is shown in the figure given below:
