Draw histograms for each of the following frequency distributions:(v)
Class Mark$6$$12$$18$$24$$30$$36$
Frequency$8$$12$$15$$18$$25$$7$

Solution:-

Steps to draw histograms for given frequency distributions,

1. First we have to calculate the class interval from the class mark using the following adjustment formula.

Value of Adjustment = (One class mark $–$ Preceding class mark)/$2$

Then, the value obtained is added to the class mark to obtain the upper limit and subtracted from the class mark to obtain lower limit.

Now,

Value of adjustment $=(12–6)/2$

$=6/2$

$=3$

So, we add and subtract $3$ to each class mark to obtain the class interval.

The lower limit of first class $=6–3=3$

The Upper limit of first class $=6+3=9$

Hence, the first  class interval is $(3–9)$.

Similarly, we can calculate the remaining class intervals.

Class Mark$3–9$$9-15$$15–21$$21–27$$27–33$$33–39$
Frequency$8$$12$$15$$18$$25$$7$

2. On the x – axis, take $1cm=10$ units and plot frequency.

3. On the y – axis, take $1cm=10$ units and plot class interval.

4.Construct rectangles of histograms according to given data.
