Answer:

The given frequency distribution is in exclusive form.
We will represent the class intervals [daily wages (in rupees)] along the x-axis & the corresponding frequencies [number of workers] along the y-axis.
The scale is as follows:
On x-axis: 1 big division = 40 rupees
On y-axis: 1 big division = 2 workers
Because the scale on the x-axis starts at 340, a kink, i.e., a  break, is indicated near the origin to signify that the graph is drawn with a scale beginning at 340
and not at the origin.
We will construct rectangles with the class intervals as bases and the corresponding frequencies as heights.
Thus, we will obtain the following histogram:

The scale is as follows:
On x-axis: 1 big division = 7 years
On y-axis: 1 big division = 50 persons
Because the scale on the x-axis starts at 9.5, a kink, i.e., a break, is indicated near the origin to signify that the graph is drawn with a scale beginning at 9.5
and not at the origin.
We will construct rectangles with class intervals (age) as bases and the corresponding frequencies (number of illiterate persons) as
heights.
Thus, we obtain the histogram, as shown below:

The scale is as follows:
On x-axis: 1 big division = 7 years
On y-axis: 1 big division = 50 persons
Because the scale on the x-axis starts at 9.5, a kink, i.e., a break, is indicated near the origin to signify that the graph is drawn with a scale beginning at 9.5
and not at the origin.
We will construct rectangles with class intervals (age) as bases and the corresponding frequencies (number of illiterate persons) as

Thus, we obtain the histogram, as shown below:

Answer:

In the given frequency distribution, class sizes are different.
So, we calculate the adjusted frequency for each class.
The minimum class size is 4.
Adjusted frequency of a class =Minimum class sizeClass size of the class ×Its frequency 

We have the following table:
 

 Class Interval Frequency Adjusted Frequency

We have chosen the scale as follows:
On the x- axis,
1 big division = 5 units
On the y-axis,
1 big division = 1 unit

Answer:

We take two imagined classes—one at the beginning (0–10) and other at the end (70–80)—each with frequency zero.
With these two classes, we have the following frequency table:

Age in Years  Class Mark Frequency
(Number of Patients)
0–10 5 0
10–20 15 2
20–30 25 5
30–40 35 12
40–50 45 19
50–60 55 9
60–70 65 4
70–80 75 0

Now, we plot the following points on a graph paper:
A(5, 0), B(15, 2), C(25, 5), D(35, 12), E(45, 19), F(55, 9), G(65, 4) and H(75, 0)
Join these points with line segments AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH ,HI and IJ to obtain the required frequency polygon.

Join these points with line segments AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH ,HI and IJ to obtain the required frequency polygon.

Answer:

Though the given frequency table is in inclusive form, class marks in case of inclusive and exclusive forms are the same.
We take the imagined classes (-9)–0 at the beginning and 61–70 at the end, each with frequency zero.
Thus, we have:
 

 Class Interval Class Mark Frequency
 -9–0  –4.5 0
1–10 5.5 8
11–20 15.5 3
21–30 25.5 6
31–40 35.5 12
41–50 45.5 2
51–60 55.5 7
61–70 65.5 0

Along the x-axis, we mark –4.5, 5.5, 15.5, 25.5, 35.5, 45.5, 55.5 and 65.5.
Along the y-axis, we mark 0, 8, 3, 6, 12, 2, 7 and 0.
We have chosen the scale as follows :
On the x-axis, 1 big division = 10 units.
On the y-axis, 1 big division = 1 unit.
We plot the points A(–4.5,0), B(5.5, 8), C(15.5, 3), D(25.5, 6), E(35.5, 12), F(45.5, 2), G(55.5, 7) and H(65.5, 0).

Question 14:

Though the given frequency table is in inclusive form, class marks in case of inclusive and exclusive forms are the same.
We take the imagined classes (-9)–0 at the beginning and 61–70 at the end, each with frequency zero.

Along the x-axis, we mark –4.5, 5.5, 15.5, 25.5, 35.5, 45.5, 55.5 and 65.5.
Along the y-axis, we mark 0, 8, 3, 6, 12, 2, 7 and 0.

We draw line segments AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH to obtain the required frequency polygon, as shown below.

 

Answer:

We represent the class intervals along the x-axis and the corresponding frequencies along the y-axis.
We construct rectangles with class intervals as bases and respective frequencies as heights.
We have the scale as follows:
On the x-axis:
1 big division = 10 years
On the y-axis:
1 big division = 2 patients
Thus, we obtain the histogram, as shown below.
We join the midpoints of the tops of adjacent rectangles by line segments.
Also, we take the imagined classes 0–10 and 70–80, each with frequency 0. The class marks of these classes are 5 and 75, respectively.
So, we plot the points A(5, 0) and B(75, 0). We join A with the midpoint of the top of the first rectangle and B with the midpoint of the top of the last rectangle.
Thus, we obtain a complete frequency polygon, as shown below:

We join the midpoints of the tops of adjacent rectangles by line segments.
Also, we take the imagined classes 0–10 and 70–80, each with frequency 0. The class marks of these classes are 5 and 75, respectively.

Thus, we obtain a complete frequency polygon, as shown below:

Answer:

We represent the class intervals along the x-axis and the corresponding frequencies along the y-axis.
We construct rectangles with class intervals as bases and respective frequencies as heights.
We have the scale as follows:
On the x-axis, 1 big division = 5 units.
On the y-axis, 1 big division = 5 units.
Because the scale on the x-axis starts at 15, a kink, i.e., a break, is indicated near the origin to signify that the graph is drawn with a scale beginning at 15
and not at the origin.
Thus, we obtain the histogram, as shown below.
We join the midpoints of the tops of adjacent rectangles by line segments.
Also, we take the imagined classes 15–20 and 50–55, each with frequency 0. The class marks of these classes are 17.5 and 52.5, respectively.
So, we plot the points A( 17.5, 0) and B(52.5, 0). We join A with the midpoint of the top of the first rectangle and B with the midpoint of the top of the last rectangle.
Thus, we obtain a complete frequency polygon, as shown below:

Question 16:

We represent the class intervals along the x-axis and the corresponding frequencies along the y-axis.
We construct rectangles with class intervals as bases and respective frequencies as heights.
We have the scale as follows:
On the x-axis, 1 big division = 5 units.
On the y-axis, 1 big division = 5 units.
Because the scale on the x-axis starts at 15, a kink, i.e., a break, is indicated near the origin to signify that the graph is drawn with a scale beginning at 15
and not at the origin.
Thus, we obtain the histogram, as shown below.

Also, we take the imagined classes 15–20 and 50–55, each with frequency 0. The class marks of these classes are 17.5 and 52.5, respectively.
So, we plot the points A( 17.5, 0) and B(52.5, 0). We join A with the midpoint of the top of the first rectangle and B with the midpoint of the top of the last rectangle.
Thus, we obtain a complete frequency polygon, as shown below:

Answer:

We represent the class intervals along the x-axis and the corresponding frequencies along the y-axis.
We construct rectangles with class intervals as bases and respective frequencies as heights.
We have the scale as follows:
On the x-axis:
1 big division = 40 units
On the y-axis:
1 big division = 20 units
Thus, we obtain the histogram, as shown below:
We join the midpoints of the tops of adjacent rectangles by line segments.
Also, we take the imagined classes 560–600 and 840–880, each with frequency 0.
The class marks of these classes are 580 and 860, respectively.
Because the scale on the x-axis starts at 560, a kink; i.e., a break, is indicated near the origin to signify that the graph is drawn with a scale beginning at 560
and not at the origin.
So, we plot the points A( 580, 0) and B(860, 0). We join A with the midpoint of the top of the first rectangle and join B with the midpoint of the top of the last rectangle.
