    The document provides instructions on how to draw a histogram from frequency data, including calculating frequency density and plotting consistent intervals. It also demonstrates how to interpret histograms by estimating values within intervals and identifying the median. Examples are given on time taken to complete a crossword, speed of cars, milk production by farms, and baby birth weights.

    After the first group, we have had 900 farms
    Median = (n+1) ÷ 2 from the total. After the 150-250 group, we
    have had 2400 farms. The middle farm must

    Summary
    • We have recapped how to draw a
    Histogram

    • We have learnt how to interpret a


    Histogram to make estimations
    Thirty babies weighed over 4.5kg. Babies weighing under 2kg
    are taken to a Special Care unit.
    Calculate the number of babies taken to the Special Care unit.
