2. Frequency and Histograms
Sign In
Start by making a frequency table.
To draw a histogram, we will start by making a frequency table.
The minimum value is 5 and the maximum is 94. In this case, intervals of 19 seem reasonable. Let's list the intervals in the first column of our frequency table.
Age | Frequency |
---|---|
0 - 19 | |
20 - 39 | |
40 - 59 | |
60 - 79 | |
80 - 99 |
Now, let's count the number of values in each interval. 18, 5, 27, 34, 56, 54, 9, 14, 35, 22, 78, 94, 47, 52, 2, 16, 17, 10 Looking at the data, we can see that there are 8 values in the first interval, 4 values in the second interval, 4 values in the third interval, 1 value in the fourth interval and 1 value in the fifth interval. Now we can complete the second column of our table.
Age | Frequency |
---|---|
0 - 19 | 8 |
20 - 39 | 4 |
40 - 59 | 4 |
60 - 79 | 1 |
80 - 99 | 1 |
