Histograms Questions

The document contains information about histograms and frequency tables. It includes examples of histograms with travel time and test score data. It asks questions about estimating the median, identifying modal classes, and estimating frequencies based on the histograms. An extension question asks about combining two groups of students and estimating frequencies within a time range.
