The class limits are represented along the x-axis and the frequencies along the y-axis on a suitable scale. Taking class intervals as bases and the corresponding frequencies as heights, the rectangles can be drawn to obtain the histogram of the given frequency distribution. The histogram is shown below:
(i) The group that has the maximum number of workers is represented as the highest rectangle. It is in the interval 830-840.
(ii) The number of workers who earn Rs 850 or more can be calculated from frequency table in the following manner: \[1 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 10\]
(iii) The number of workers who earn less than Rs 850 can be calculated from frequency table in the following manner: \[3 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 5 = 20\]
