This document provides instructions and examples for drawing and interpreting histograms using frequency data from tables. It includes 7 practice problems of increasing complexity that involve:
1) Drawing histograms from frequency tables of data about car speeds, tree heights, and apple weights.
2) Calculating estimates from histograms, such as the number of cars traveling over 85 km/h.
3) Finding proportions of data values from a histogram, like the percentage of apples weighing 140-200 grams.
4) Completing partial histograms and frequency tables using data about people's ages.
The goals are to help students learn to accurately draw histograms and extract information from histograms based on frequency data provided in tables.

HISTOGRAMS Materials required for examination Items included with question papers Ruler graduated in centimetres and Nil millimetres, protractor, compasses, pen, HB pencil, eraser. Tracing paper may be used.
Instructions Use black ink or ball-point pen. Fill in the boxes at the top of this page with your name, centre number and candidate number. Answer all questions. Answer the questions in the spaces provided there may be more space than you need. Calculators may be used.
Information The marks for each question are shown in brackets use this as a guide as to how much time to spend on each question. Questions labelled with an asterisk (*) are ones where the quality of your written communication will be assessed you should take particular care on these questions with your spelling, punctuation and grammar, as well as the clarity of expression.
Advice Read each question carefully before you start to answer it. Keep an eye on the time. Try to answer every question. Check your answers if you have time at the end.
1. The table gives some information about the speeds, in km/h, of 100 cars.
Speed(s km/h) Frequency 60 < s 65 15 65 < s 70 25 70 < s 80 36 80 < s 100 24
(a) On the grid, draw a histogram for the information in the table.
(3)
(b) Work out an estimate for the number of cars with a speed of more than 85 km/h.
.............................................. (2) (5 marks) ______________________________________________________________________________ 2. The table gives information about the heights, h metres, of trees in a wood.
Height (h metres) Frequency 0 < h 2 7 2 < h 4 14 4 < h 8 18 8 < h 16 24 16 < h 20 10
4. The table shows information about the lengths of time, t minutes, it took some students to do their maths homework last week.
Time (t minutes) Frequency 0 < t 10 4 10 < t 15 8 15 < t 20 24 20 < t 30 16 30 < t 50 5
Draw a histogram for this information.
(Total 3 marks)
5. The table shows information about the total times that 35 students spent using their mobile phones one week.
On the grid below, draw a histogram for this information.
(Total for Question 23 = 3 marks) 6. The incomplete table and histogram give some information about the ages of the people who live in a village.
(a) Use the information in the histogram to complete the frequency table below.
Age (x) in years Frequency 0 < x 10 160 10 < x 25 25 < x 30 30 < x 40 100 40 < x 70 120 (2)
(b) Complete the histogram. (2) (Total 4 marks) ______________________________________________________________________________
Frequency density 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Age in years 7. The table shows the distribution of the ages of passengers travelling on a plane from London to Belfast. Age (x years) Frequency 0 < x 20 28 20 < x 35 36 35 < x 45 20 45 < x 65 30
On the grid below, draw a histogram to show this distribution.
