Question

The marks obtained (out of 100) by a class of 80 students are given below:

Marks Number of students
10 – 20 6
20 – 30 17
30 – 50 15
50 – 70 16
70 – 100 26

Construct a histogram to represent the data above.

Solution

See the given table, the class intervals are of unequal width.

So, we calculate the adjusted frequency for each class.

Now, minimum size = 20 – 10 = 10

The formula of adjusted frequencies are: 

Adjusted frequency = `("Minimum class" - "size")/("Class" - "size") xx` Frequency of the class

Now, the modified table for frequency distribution is given by:

Marks Numbers of students
(Frequency)
Adjusted
frequency
10 – 20 6 `10/10 xx 6 = 6`
20 – 30 17 `10/10 xx 17 = 17`
30 – 50 15 `10/20 xx 15 = 15/2 = 7.5`
50 – 70 16 `10/20 xx 16 = 16/2 = 8`
70 – 100 26 `10/30 xx 26 = 26/3 = 8.67`

Now, let’s construct rectangles with class limits as base and respective adjusted frequencies as height
