Histograms

Draw and interpret histograms with unequal class widths using frequency density

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine you have a bag of 50 sweets in different colours. A histogram groups continuous data into bars that touch.

  2. 2

    Why do histogram bars touch each other?

  3. 3

    Drag the bars to build a histogram showing the heights of 20 plants: 0-10 cm (5 plants), 10-20 cm (8 plants), 20-30 cm (7 plants).

  4. 4

    Let's find the frequency density for a histogram bar: class width = 10, frequency = 30.

  5. 5

    A class has width 5 and frequency 20. What is the frequency density? Drag the slider to match.

  6. 6

    A histogram bar has frequency 40 and class width 8. What is the frequency density?

  7. 7

    If the frequency density is 7 and the class width is 4, what is the frequency?
