Solution

We represent the letter as a variable on the x-axis and frequency on the y-axis.

According to the given table, we can choose the scale as 1 unit = 15 frequency.

To represent our first letter that is a, we draw a rectangular bar with width 1 unit and height 5 units.

Similarly, other heads are represented by leaving a gap of `1/2` unit in between two consecutive bars.

The bar graph for given data is shown below:
