Introduction

Review the key concept: A histogram displays data distribution using bars where the height represents frequency or relative frequency. The area of each bar corresponds to the class's frequency.

Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A histogram shows the number of students scoring within certain ranges. If the bar for scores 50-59 reaches a height of 8 and the class width is 10, what is the frequency of students in this range?
[2 marks]
2.
Identify which of the following is a correct interpretation of a histogram: A) Displays individual data points, B) Shows frequency of data in class intervals, C) Shows mean and median directly.

3.
If a histogram has a tall, narrow bar followed by a short, wide bar, what can you say about the data distribution?
[2 marks]
4.
Calculate the total number of students represented by a histogram with 5 bars, heights 4, 6, 8, 5, and 7, with class width 10, assuming each bar's height represents frequency.
[3 marks]
5.
A histogram shows that most data is concentrated in the middle ranges. What does this suggest about the data distribution?
[2 marks]
6.
Given a histogram where the total area of bars sums to 60, and the total number of data points is 120, what is the approximate relative frequency of the class represented?
[3 marks]
7.
Explain how the width of bars affects the shape and interpretation of a histogram.
[4 marks]
8.
A histogram shows a bimodal distribution with two peaks. What can be inferred about the data?
[2 marks]
9.
Using the histogram with class intervals 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, and 30-40, and heights 3, 7, 5, and 2 respectively, calculate the probability that a randomly selected data point is from the 10-20 interval.
[3 marks]
10.
A real-world scenario: A histogram shows the distribution of daily rainfall over a month. The highest bar corresponds to the 10-20mm range. What insights can be drawn about the weather pattern?
[4 marks]
