9. Construct a frequency table with equal class intervals from the following data on 
the monthly wages (in rupees) of 28 labourers working in a factory, taking one of 
the class intervals as 210-230 (230 not included) : 
220, 268, 258, 242, 210, 268, 272, 242, 311, 290, 300, 320, 319, 304, 302, 318, 306, 292, 
254, 278, 210, 240, 280, 316, 306, 215, 256, 236. 
Solution: 
The frequency table of the monthly wages of 28 laborers working in a factory is shown 
below: 
Wages No: of Workers 
210 – 230 4 
230 – 250 4 
250 – 270 5 
270 – 290 3 
290 – 310 7 
310 – 330 5 
 
10. The daily minimum temperatures in degrees Celsius recorded in a certain Arctic 
region are as follows : 
- 12.5, -10.8, -18.6, -8.4, -10.8, -4.2, -4.8, -6.7, -13.2, -11.8, -2.3, 1.2, 2.6, 0, -2.4, 0, 3.2, 
2.7, 3.4, 0, -2.4, -2.4, 0, 3.2, 2.7, 3.4, 0, -2.4, -5.8, -8.9, -14.6, -12.3, -11.5, -7.8, -2.9
