A random survey of the number of children of various age groups playing in a park was found as follows: Draw a Histogram to represent the above data.
Dear Student,
Here, it can be observed that the data has class intervals of varying width. The proportion of children per 1 year interval can be calculated as follows.
Age (in years) |
Frequency (Number of children) |
Width of class |

Taking the age of children on x-axis and proportion of children per 1 year interval on y-axis, the histogram can be drawn as follows.
