Math Problem Statement

On the grid, draw a histogram for this information.

On the grid, draw a histogram for this information.

Solution

The image provided contains instructions to draw a histogram based on a frequency distribution table. Let me first extract the relevant data from the image and then guide you on how to draw the histogram.

Extracted Data:

From the table in the image, the frequency distribution is as follows:

Probability (p)Frequency
0p<0.20 \leq p < 0.24
0.2p<0.40.2 \leq p < 0.48
0.4p<0.60.4 \leq p < 0.615
0.6p<0.80.6 \leq p < 0.812
0.8p<1.00.8 \leq p < 1.07

Steps to Draw the Histogram:

  1. Set up the axes:

    • The x-axis will represent the probability intervals.
    • The y-axis will represent the frequency.
  2. Label the x-axis:

    • Mark the intervals [0,0.2)[0, 0.2), [0.2,0.4)[0.2, 0.4), [0.4,0.6)[0.4, 0.6), [0.6,0.8)[0.6, 0.8), and [0.8,1.0)[0.8, 1.0).
  3. Label the y-axis:

    • Choose a suitable scale to represent the frequencies. Since the highest frequency is 15, the y-axis should be marked up to at least 15.
  4. Draw the bars:

    • Draw a bar for each interval where the height corresponds to the frequency.
    • For [0,0.2)[0, 0.2), draw a bar of height 4.
    • For [0.2,0.4)[0.2, 0.4), draw a bar of height 8.
    • For [0.4,0.6)[0.4, 0.6), draw a bar of height 15.
    • For [0.6,0.8)[0.6, 0.8), draw a bar of height 12.
    • For [0.8,1.0)[0.8, 1.0), draw a bar of height 7.
  5. Add labels and title:

    • Label the x-axis as "Probability" and the y-axis as "Frequency".
    • Optionally, add a title to your histogram, such as "Histogram of Probability Distribution".

Would you like to see a visual representation of this histogram or do you have any questions about the steps?

Tip:

When drawing histograms, make sure the intervals on the x-axis are of equal width to accurately represent the data distribution.
