Objectives:
A Grade Interpret a histogram with unequal
class intervals
Prior knowledge:
Draw a Histogram diagram

Finding Frequencies 10 x 1.5 = 15

20 x 1 = 20

How many lengths are in the class interval 40cm to 60cm?
20 x 1 = 20
How many lengths are in the class interval 30cm to 40cm?
10 x 2 = 20
What is the total frequency? Repeat for the other bars. 75
Histograms
From this histogram you could be asked further questions:
Estimate how many people between the ages of 35 and 55 surf.

Identify the area of the
Frequency density
2 bars to which this applies.
Remember:
1
frequency is the area

Find the area separately of each bar

Find the total frequency, then find which class interval it is in,
draw a line in the bar where the median is represented to find
where it is on the x axis
