Draw a histogram and a frequency polygon on the same graph to represent the above data.
Answer
The given frequency distribution table is as below:
Age in years
10-20
20-30
30-40
40-50
50-60
60-70
Numbers of patients

120
30
Take class intervals i.e age in years along x-axis and number of patients of width equal to the size of the class intervals and height equal to the corrensponding frequencies.
Thus we get the required histogram.
In order to draw frequency polygon, we take imaginary intervals 0-10 at the beginning and 70-80 at the end each with frequency zero and join the mid-points of top of the rectangles.
Thus, we obain a complete frequency polygon, shown below:

Take class intervals along x-axis and frequencies along and draw rectangle s of width equal to the size of the class intervals and hights equal to the corresponding frequencies.
Thus we get the required histogram.
Now take imaginary class intervals 15-20 at the beginning and 50-55 at the end, each with frequency zero and join the mid points of top of the rectangles to get the reuaired frequency polygon.

In the class intervals, If the upper limit of one class limit of the next class, It known as the exclusive method of classification.
Clearly, the given frequency distribution is in the exclusive form.
To draw the required, take class intervals, i.e. daily wages (in Rs.) along x-axis and frequencies i.e. no of workers alongy-axisand draw rectangles. So, we get the reuiredhistogram.
Since the scale on x-axis starts at 340, a kink (break) is indicated near the origin to show that the graph is drawn to scale beginning at 340.

In the above table, class intervals are of unequal size, So we calcute the adjusted frequency by using the following formula: $\text{Adjusted Frequency}=\frac{\text{Minimum class sizex its frequaency}}{\text{Class size of this class}}$ Thus, the adjusted frequency table is:
Class intervals frequency Adjusted Frequency
10-14 5 $\frac{4}{4}\times5=5$
14-20 6 $\frac{4}{6}\times6=4$
20-32 9 $\frac{4}{12}\times9=3$
32-52 25 $\frac{4}{20}\times25=5$
52-80 21 $\frac{4}{28}\times21=3$
Now take class intervals along x-axis and adjusted frequency along y-axis and constant rectangles rectangles having their beses as class size and heights as the corresponding adjusted frequency. Thus, we obtain the histogram as shown below:

Histogram is the graphical representation of a frequency distrubution in the form of rectangles, such that there is no gap between any two successive rectangles. Clearly the given frequency distribution is in inclusive form, that is there is a gap between the upper limit of a class and the lower limit of the next class. Therefore, we need to convert the frequency distribution in exclusive form, as shown below:
Age group (in years)
9.5-16.5
16.5-23.5
23.5-30.5
30.5-37.5
37.5-44.4
44.5-51.5
51.5-58.5
Number of illiterate persons
175
325
100
150
250

525
To draw the required histogram, take class intervals, that is age, along x-axis and frequencies, that is number of illiterate persions along y-axis draw rectangles. So, we get the required histogram. Since the scale on X-axis starts at 9.5, a kink (break) is indicated near the origin to show that graph is drawn to scale beginning at 9.5

In the class intervals, If the upper limit of one class is the lower limit of the next class, It known as the exclusive method of classification.
Clearly, the given frequency distribution is in the exclusive form.
We take class intervals, i.e. daily earnings (in Rs.) along x-axis and frequencies i.e. number of stores along y-axis.
So, we get the required histogram.
Since the scale on x-axis starts at 700, a kink (break) is indicated near the origin to show that the graph is drawn to scale beginning at 700.

In the class intervals, if the upper limit of one class is the lower limit of the next class, it is know as the exclusive method of classification.
Clearly, the given frequency distribution is in the exclusive form.
We take class intervals along x-axis and frequency along y-axis.
So, we get the required histogram.

This table has inclusive class intervals and so these are to be converted into exclusive class intervals (i.e true class limits).
These are (0.5-10.5), (10.5-20.5), (20.5-30.5), (30.5-40.5), (40.5-50.5) and (50.5-60.5)
In order to draw a frequency polygon, we need to determine to determine the class marks. Class marks of a class interval $=\frac{\text{Lower limit}+\text{upper limit}}{2}$
Take imaginary class interval (-9.5-0.5) at the beginning and (60.5-70.5) at the end, each with frequency zero.
So, we have the following table
Class intervals
True class intervals

Now, take class marks along x-axis and their corresponding frequency along y-axis.
Mark the points ans join them.
Thus, we obtain a complete frequency polygon as shown below:

In the class intervals, If the upper limit of one class is the lower limit of the next class, It known as the exclusive method of classification.
Clearly, the given frequency distribution is in the exclusive form.
We take class intervals, i.e. height (in cm) along x-axis and frequencies i.e. number of stores along y-axis.
So, we get the required histogram.
Since the scale on x-axis starts at 130, a kink (break) is indicated near the origin to show that the graph is drawn to scale beginning at 130.
