$A$ random survey of the number of children of various age groups playing in a park was found as follows:
Age (in years) Number of children
$1-2$ $5$
$2-3$ $3$
$3-5$ $6$
$5-7$ $12$
$7-10$ $9$
$10-15$ $10$
$15-17$ $4$

Draw a histogram to represent the data above.

(N/A) Here,it can be observed that the data has class intervals of varying width. The proportion of children per $1$ year interval can be calculated as follows:
Age (in years) Number of children Width of class Height of rectangle
$1-2$ $5$ $1$ $(5 \times 1) / 1 = 5$
$2-3$ $3$ $1$ $(3 \times 1) / 1 = 3$
$3-5$ $6$ $2$ $(6 \times 1) / 2 = 3$
$5-7$ $12$ $2$ $(12 \times 1) / 2 = 6$
$7-10$ $9$ $3$ $(9 \times 1) / 3 = 3$
$10-15$ $10$ $5$ $(10 \times 1) / 5 = 2$
$15-17$ $4$ $2$ $(4 \times 1) / 2 = 2$

Taking the age of children on the $x$-axis and the proportion of children per $1$ year interval on the $y$-axis,the histogram is constructed based on the calculated heights.

$A$ teacher wanted to analyze the performance of two sections of students in a mathematics test of $100$ marks. Looking at their performances,she found that a few students got under $20$ marks and a few got $70$ marks or above. So she decided to group them into intervals of varying sizes as follows: $0-20, 20-30, ..., 60-70, 70-100$. Then she formed the following table:
MarksNumber of students
$0-20$$7$
$20-30$$10$
$30-40$$10$
$40-50$$20$
$50-60$$20$
$60-70$$15$
$70-100$$8$

$A$ histogram for this table was prepared by a student as shown in Fig. Carefully examine this graphical representation. Do you think that it correctly represents the data?

$A$ company manufactures car batteries of a particular type. The lives (in years) of $40$ such batteries were recorded as follows:
$\begin{array}{llllllll}2.6 & 3.0 & 3.7 & 3.2 & 2.2 & 4.1 & 3.5 & 4.5 \\ 3.5 & 2.3 & 3.2 & 3.4 & 3.8 & 3.2 & 4.6 & 3.7 \\ 2.5 & 4.4 & 3.4 & 3.3 & 2.9 & 3.0 & 4.3 & 2.8 \\ 3.5 & 3.2 & 3.9 & 3.2 & 3.2 & 3.1 & 3.7 & 3.4 \\ 4.6 & 3.8 & 3.2 & 2.6 & 3.5 & 4.2 & 2.9 & 3.6\end{array}$
Construct a grouped frequency distribution table for this data,using class intervals of size $0.5$ starting from the interval $2 - 2.5$.

Let us consider the following frequency distribution table which gives the weights of $38$ students of a class:
Weights (in $kg$) Number of students
$31-35$ $9$
$36-40$ $5$
$41-45$ $14$
$46-50$ $3$
$51-55$ $1$
$56-60$ $2$
$61-65$ $2$
$66-70$ $1$
$71-75$ $1$
Total $38$

If two new students of weights $35.5\, kg$ and $40.5\, kg$ are admitted to this class,how should the frequency distribution table be adjusted to include them?
