Provide the intervals and frequencies you would use to construct the histogram for this data set.

Answer 1

39

Explanation:

To find the intervals you will need to find the lowest and highest numbers, in this case, it would be 1 and 35. A general rule would be 5-7 intervals, I will use 5.

Here are the intervals with the number of people that were in each:

1-7 (9)

8-14 (14)

15-21 (8)

22-28 (3)

29-35 (5)

14+9+8+3+5=39
