Solution
i) The highest rectangle corresponds to the highest number of literate females, which is in the interval 15-20 years.
(ii) The class intervals are 10-15, 15-20, 20-25,25-30,30-35, 35-40. Hence, the class width is 5.
(iii) The lowest rectangle corresponds to the lowest frequency, which is 320.
(iv) The class mark is the mid-point of the class interval.
Hence, the class mark of each class is as follows:
| Interval | Class Mark |
| 10-15 | 12.5 |
| 15-20 | 17.5 |
| 20-25 | 22.5 |
| 25-30 | 27.5 |
| 30-35 | 32.5 |
| 35-40 | 37.5 |
The lowest rectangle corresponds to the least number of literate females, which is in the interval 10-15 years.
