Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Range of Heights
  • Identify the minimum and maximum heights from the data.
  • Minimum height: 155 cm
  • Maximum height: 177 cm
  • Range = 177 - 155 = 22 cm
Step 2: Calculate the Bin Width
  • Divide the range by the number of bins to determine the bin width.
  • Number of bins = 5
  • Bin width = Range / Number of bins = 22 / 5 = 4.4 cm
  • Round the bin width to a convenient number, e.g., 5 cm.
Step 3: Define the Bin Intervals
  • Create bin intervals based on the bin width.
  • Bin 1: 155 - 159 cm
  • Bin 2: 160 - 164 cm
  • Bin 3: 165 - 169 cm
  • Bin 4: 170 - 174 cm
  • Bin 5: 175 - 179 cm
Step 4: Tally the Frequencies
  • Count the number of heights that fall into each bin interval.
  • Bin 1 (155 - 159 cm): 7 swimmers
  • Bin 2 (160 - 164 cm): 5 swimmers
  • Bin 3 (165 - 169 cm): 7 swimmers
  • Bin 4 (170 - 174 cm): 3 swimmers
  • Bin 5 (175 - 179 cm): 2 swimmers
Step 5: Fill in the Frequency Table
  • Populate the frequency table with the calculated frequencies.

| Height (cm) | Frequency | |-------------|-----------| | 155 - 159 | 7 | | 160 - 164 | 5 | | 165 - 169 | 7 | | 170 - 174 | 3 | | 175 - 179 | 2 |

Final Answer

  • The histogram should reflect the frequencies in the table, with each bin interval on the x-axis and the corresponding frequency on the y-axis.
