Exercise 10 Page 468

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 4 intervals of 5 states each. Looking at the table, we can see that there are 12 values in the first interval, 14 values in the second interval, 6 values in the third interval, and 3 values in the fourth interval.

States Visited
States Frequency
1-5 12
6-10 14
11-15 6
16-20 3

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!
