Q2 of 44 Page 72

Draw a histogram for the monthly wages of the workers in a factory as per data given below.

Note that, class intervals have varying base widths. This changes how we generally draw a histogram.

There is a need to find length of rectangles for each class interval because length of rectangle will determine y-axis now, while class interval will be represented on the x-axis.


Length of the rectangle is given by,



Where C = minimum class width of the data set.


Here, note from the table below that C = 200.


Thus, histogram can be drawn following the given table. Table makes our observation and calculation clearer and ensures accuracy of the final answer.



The histogram is as follows:
