Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Problem

The problem requires constructing a histogram from the given frequency distribution of low temperatures recorded over a 31-day month and determining if the data distribution is approximately normal.

Step 2: Construct the Histogram

Using the given frequency distribution:

  • Class A (39-44): Frequency = 1
  • Class B (45-50): Frequency = 1
  • Class C (51-56): Frequency = 6
  • Class D (57-62): Frequency = 15
  • Class E (63-68): Frequency = 5
  • Class F (69-74): Frequency = 1
  • Class G (75-80): Frequency = 2
Step 3: Analyze the Histogram
  • The histogram will have a peak at Class D (57-62) with a frequency of 15.
  • The frequencies decrease symmetrically on either side of the peak, with lower frequencies in Classes A, B, F, and G.

Final Answer

The data appear to have a distribution that is approximately normal.

Answer: B. Yes, it is approximately normal.
