(i) Write the age group in which the number of literate female is the highest.

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.

\[\text{ class mark }= \frac{\text{ upper limit + lower limit }}{2}\]

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.
