Math Problem Statement
Solution
To draw the histogram for this data, we first need to calculate the frequency density for each group. Frequency density is given by the formula:
We can calculate the frequency density for each class of heights:
-
For :
- Frequency = 15
- Class width =
- Frequency density =
-
For :
- Frequency = 48
- Class width =
- Frequency density =
-
For :
- Frequency = 21
- Class width =
- Frequency density =
-
For :
- Frequency = 16
- Class width =
- Frequency density =
Now you can draw the histogram:
- The first bar (0 < h ≤ 20) will have a height of 0.75.
- The second bar (20 < h ≤ 35) will have a height of 3.2.
- The third bar (35 < h ≤ 40) will have a height of 4.2.
- The fourth bar (40 < h ≤ 50) will have a height of 1.6.
The widths of the bars should correspond to the class widths (20, 15, 5, and 10 respectively).

Here are 5 related questions:
- How is frequency density useful in representing data in histograms?
- How do histograms differ from bar charts?
- Can you describe when to use histograms over other graphical representations?
- Why do smaller class widths sometimes result in taller bars on a histogram?
- How would the shape of the histogram change if the frequencies were all evenly distributed?
Tip: In a histogram, the area of each bar represents the frequency for that class, not the height directly.
