Worksheet # 10.3
Topic 10 – Statistics

Name: ___________________ Class: __________________

Objective:
Students will be able to:
• Construct histograms (of equal widths) and frequency polygons and solve related real-world problems

Question 1:

The following table shows the frequency distribution of the masses, in kg, of 21 members of a
sports club.

Mass (kg) 53 – 55 56 – 58 59 – 61 62 – 64 65 – 67

Frequency 2 6 8 4 1

Construct a histogram for the given data.

Question 2:
Create a histogram from the following data:

Average Gas Mileage: 24,17,14,22,25,26,38,42,24,12,28,19,32,21,35,28,21,31,18,19

Question 3:
The table shows some information about the heights (h cm) of 60 plants.

Height (h cm) Frequency

20 < w ≤ 30 8
30 < w ≤ 40 13
40 < w ≤ 50 25
50 < w ≤ 60 10
60 < w ≤ 70 4

Draw a frequency polygon to show this information.

Question 4:
The table shows some information about the weights, in kg, of 100 boxes.

Draw a frequency polygon to show this information.

Question 5:
In one month, Janet travelled by bus 25 times and by train 25 times. The grouped frequency
table records the number of minutes (x minutes) late each of her buses and trains was.

Draw two frequency polygons to illustrate this data.
