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.

Graph

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
