Understanding Histograms and Class Intervals

The video tutorial explains how to represent data using class intervals and frequency. It covers the concept of continuous intervals, where the upper limit of one interval is the lower limit of the next. The tutorial guides viewers through drawing and labeling axes, choosing a suitable scale, and plotting data to create a histogram. It highlights the difference between bar graphs and histograms, emphasizing the continuous nature of intervals in histograms. The video concludes with a note on handling discontinuous intervals in future lessons.

What is the purpose of the second row in the table discussed in the video?

• To show the number of pens sold in each price range

• To indicate the color of the pens

• To display the total number of pens

• To list the price range of pens

How is the continuity of class intervals maintained in the table?

• By having overlapping intervals

• By making the upper limit of one interval equal to the lower limit of the next

• By using the same lower limit for all intervals

• By having no upper limit

What is a key difference between bar graphs and histograms as mentioned in the video?

• Bar graphs are used for numerical data, histograms for categorical data

• Histograms use continuous intervals, bar graphs do not

• Bar graphs use continuous intervals, histograms do not

• Histograms are always taller than bar graphs

What is the first step in drawing a histogram according to the video?

• Choosing a color for the bars

• Drawing the x and y axes

• Calculating the mean of the data

• Listing all data points

What scale is suggested for the y-axis when drawing a histogram for the given data?

• 1 cm equals 10 pens

• 1 cm equals 1 pen

• 1 cm equals 15 pens

• 1 cm equals 5 pens

What is the frequency of pens sold in the price range of 10 to 20 rupees?

• 15 pens

• 25 pens

• 10 pens

• 20 pens

What is the length of the bar for a frequency of 20 pens in the histogram?

• 3 centimeters

• 5 centimeters

• 2 centimeters

• 4 centimeters

What is a histogram used to represent?

• Random data points

• Categorical data

• Continuous class intervals

• Discrete data

What happens if the class intervals are discontinuous?

• The data cannot be plotted

• The intervals need to be adjusted

• The histogram becomes a bar graph

• The bars overlap

What is the significance of the lower limit in a continuous class interval?

• It is the same as the upper limit

• It is included in the interval

• It is always zero

• It is excluded from the interval
