C Challenge

  1. Make a histogram for a set of 200 data values. The histogram must have 40% of the values lie in the interval 20–29. The remaining values should be evenly divided among the intervals 0–9, 10–19, 30–39, and 40–49.
  2. Copy and complete the cumulative frequency table below.

    Interval Frequency Cumulative Frequency
    0–9 white square 6
    10–19 white square 17
    20–29 white square 26
    30–39 white square 35
