Exercise 1 Page 464

Use the given frequency table to draw a histogram.

Example Histogram:

Practice makes perfect

Let's take a look at the given frequency table. This table has 5 intervals of 10 years each. Looking at the table, we can see that there are 16 values in the first interval, 11 values in the second interval, 5 values in the third interval, 2 values in the fourth interval, and 4 values in the fifth interval.

Age 10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59
Frequency 16 11 5 2 4

Now, let's display our data in a histogram. We will draw a bar for each interval that we used in the frequency table and make the height of each bar equal to the frequency of the interval. Keep in mind that the bars should touch but not overlap. Do not forget to label the axes!
