Exercise 15 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 5 intervals of 2000 steps each. Looking at the table, we can see that there is 1 value in the first interval, 4 values in the second interval, 9 values in the third interval, 12 values in the fourth interval, and 11 values in the fifth interval.
Steps taken
Steps Frequency
0-1999 1
2000-3999 4
4000-5999 9
6000-7999 12
8000-9999 11

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!
