Final answer:

To construct a histogram, follow these steps: determine the range of the data and divide it into intervals, label the x-axis and y-axis, draw rectangular bars for each interval, and scale the axes properly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Constructing a Histogram

To construct a histogram, follow these steps:


  1. Determine the range of the data and divide it into five to six intervals.

  2. On the x-axis, label each interval.

  3. On the y-axis, label the frequency or count for each interval.

  4. Draw rectangular bars for each interval, with the height of each bar representing the frequency of that interval.

  5. Scale the axes properly, ensuring that the bars do not touch or overlap.

Example:

Let's say we have the following data for the number of hours students study per week: 5, 7, 3, 8, 4, 6, 10, 9.

We can construct a histogram by dividing the data into intervals and counting the frequency of the scores within each interval.

The histogram will visually represent the distribution of the data.
