Question

The marks obtained by 50 students in Mathematics are given below.

(i) Make a frequency distribution table taking a class size of 10 marks

(ii) Draw a histogram and a frequency polygon.

Sum

Solution

Maximum marks obtained = 89

Minimum marks obtained = 08

Range = Maximum marks – Minimim marks

= 89 – 08

= 81

Taking the class size = 10, then

Number of possible intervals = `"Range"/"Class size"`

= `81/10`

= 8.1

= 9

Class Interval Tally marks Frequency
0 − 10 I 1
10 − 20 I 1
20 − 30 III 3
30 − 40 IIII III 8
40 − 50 IIII IIII III 13
50 − 60 IIII IIII II 12
60 − 70 IIII IIII 9
70 − 80 II 2
80 − 90 I 1
Total 50 50

Now we have the continuous frequency table.

Class Intervals 0 − 10 10 − 20 20 − 30 30 − 40 40 − 50 50 − 60 60 − 70 70 − 80 80 − 90
Frequency 1 1 3 8 13 12 9 2 1

We will draw the histogram taking class interval in x-axis and frequency in y-axis as follows.
