NOT Instagrams
Histograms are all about groups of numerical data. Histograms show intervals of data. For example, a histogram may show how many people at a Justin Bieber concert were in their teens, twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties.
Example The boys in Mr. Robinson’s Math class earned the following scores on their last exam: 71, 82, 89, 63, 81, 92, 64, 85, 72, 87. Create a histogram that accurately displays this data. First, we need to see if there is any we can put our data into groups, or categories. We should put our data into groups of _____________________________________
Make a table that shows how many test scores were in each group. Test Score IntervalsAmount of Tests 60 – – – , 82, 89, 63, 81, 92, 64, 85, 72, 87.
Next, we will make a graph from our table. Begin by drawing two intersecting lines:
Use the left side of your paper to set the range from 1 to 5 to match the range from your table. Then label the bottom of your graph with the test score intervals.
What is the number of persons below the age of 60 in the histogram below?
If 70 and above is considered a passing grade, how many students passed the math test?
