    Scott has been buying one lottery ticket for every draw since the lottery began. After many years, he has finally won the bonus draw of one million dollars. Scott contacted the Lottery Commission for an up-dated histogram by ages of bonus draw winners over the past years. Scott has become a millionaire at the age of 42, and would like to know how many others have won the million dollar bonus draw and what percentage of the winners were in their forties. How can Scott use the histogram to figure this out?
    ::自彩票开始以来,Scott一直在为每张彩票买一张彩票。多年后,他终于赢得了100万美元的奖金。Scott在过去几年里与彩票委员会联系,要求按奖金获奖者的年龄来更新直方图。Scott在42岁时成为百万富翁,想知道有多少人赢得了100万美元奖金,以及40多岁的获奖者所占的百分比。Scott如何使用直方图来解决这个问题呢?

    In this concept, you will learn what a histogram is and how to interpret the information displayed on this type of graph.
    ::在这个概念中,你会知道直方图是什么,以及如何解释这类图表上显示的信息。

    Histograms
    ::直方图

    A histogram is very similar to a bar graph . It is a visual display of data in which equal intervals of data values are shown on the horizontal axis and the frequency associated with each interval is represented by vertical rectangular bars. There are no spaces between the bars of a histogram.
    ::直方图与一个条形图非常相似。它是一个数据直观显示器,在水平轴上显示相等的数据值间隔,每个间距的频率由垂直矩形条表示。直方图的两边之间没有空格。

    You will also learn to organize data by creating a frequency table . A frequency table organizes the data in three columns by displaying the intervals, a tally of the number of values within the interval, and a numerical value of the tally.
    ::您还将通过创建一个频率表来学习如何组织数据。一个频率表通过显示间隔、计算间隔内值数和计算数值,将数据分为三列。

    A tally is a mark made to keep count of the number of values within the interval. These tally marks are often grouped together in fives ( | | | | )   . The frequency table shows how often the values within the interval occur. The interval and frequency columns of the table are used to draw a histogram.
    ::计数是用来在间隔内计数数值的标记。这些计数标记通常分组为 5 () 。 频率表显示间隔内数值的发生频率。 表格的间隔和频率列用于绘制直方图 。

    Let’s use the ages of the lottery winners to create a frequency table such that each interval is a size 10.
    ::让我们用彩票中奖者的年龄来制作一个频率表,

    23 74 32 63 40 51 79 66 53 45 37 27 76 35 42
    64 52 59 36 78 45 53 65 68 57 37 54 47 56 48

    First, determine the range of the data values by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value.
    ::首先,通过从最大值中减去最小值,确定数据值的范围。

    79 23 = 56
     

    Next, determine the number of intervals of size 10. Divide the range by the interval size.
    ::下一步,确定10号大小的间隔次数,将范围除以间隔大小。

    56 10 = 5.6 = 6   intervals

    ::5610=5.6=6间隔

    You cannot have part of an interval so the number is rounded to 6.
    ::您不能有部分间隔, 所以数字四舍五入为 6 。

    Next, draw and label a table with three columns. Note: even though there are no values between 0 and 19, include it as an interval so it will be displayed on the histogram.
    ::下一步, 绘制并标出三列的表格 。 注意: 即使 0 和 19 之间没有值, 但也以间距将其包含在内, 以便将其显示在直方图上 。

    Interval Tally Frequency
    0 - 19   0
    20 - 29 | | 2
    30 - 39 | | | | 5
    40 - 49 | | | |   |   6
    50 - 59 | | | |   | | |   8
    60 - 69 | | | | 5
    70 - 79 | | | |   4

    The following frequency table represents the years that teachers from a small town have been employed in the teaching profession. Let’s use the data displayed in this frequency table to create a histogram.
    ::下面的频率表代表了小城镇教师受雇于教学行业的年份。 让我们使用这个频率表中显示的数据来创建直方图。

    Interval 1 - 5 6 - 10 11 - 15 16 - 20 21 - 25 26 - 30 31 - 35
    Frequency 11 9 12 14 7 10 12

    Drawing the histogram on grid or graph paper will make the task easier for you to complete
    ::在网格或图形纸上绘制直方图将使任务更容易完成

    First, draw the horizontal ( x )  axis and the vertical "> ( y )  axis.
    ::首先,绘制水平(x)轴和垂直Yes轴。

    Next, label the horizontal axis and place the intervals below the line.
    ::下一步,给水平轴贴上标签,并将间距置于线下。

    Next, label the vertical axis and place the values to the left of the line.
    ::下一步,给垂直轴贴上标签,并将数值置于线左侧。

    Next, label the graph with an appropriate title.
    ::下一步,将图表标上适当的标题。

    Then, above each interval draw the vertical bars the height of the corresponding frequency.
    ::然后,在每个间距上方绘制垂直线条,以相应频率的高度为准。

    From the histogram you can see that the largest number of teachers have been teaching for 16-20 years. The fewest number of teachers have been teaching for 21-25 years. The total number of teachers teaching in this town is the sum of the numbers above the bars. 
    ::从直方图可以看出,16-20年来,教师人数最多,教师人数最少,有21-25年。 这个城市的教师总数是酒吧以上人数的总和。

    11 + 9 + 12 + 14 + 7 + 10 + 12 = 75.

    Let’s look at an example.
    ::让我们举个例子。

    A manufacturer of AAA batteries had their quality control department test the lifespan of their batteries. Forty-two batteries were randomly selected and tested, with the number of hours they lasted listed below.
    ::一家AAA电池制造商的质量控制部门对其电池的使用寿命进行了测试,对42个电池进行了随机挑选和测试,其持续小时数如下。

    108 125 137 110 167 158 142
    168 163 121 134 146 135 163
    148 153 169 154 156 142 160

    1. Using an interval of size 10, construct a frequency table for the given data.
      ::使用大小为10的间隔,为给定数据构建一个频率表。
    2. Draw a histogram to display the data.
      ::绘制直方图以显示数据。

    First, calculate the number of intervals for the frequency table.
    ::首先,计算频率表的间隔次数。

    Range = Largest value Smallest value Range = 169 108 Range = 61

    ::范围 = 最大值 - 最小值Range = 169 - 108Range = 61

    # of intervals = Range Interval size # of intervals = 61 10 = 6.1 # of intervals = 7

    ::# 间距=Range 间距大小 # 间距= 6110= 6. 1# 间距= 7

    Next, draw and label the frequency table to display the data. The smallest value is 108 so the first interval could be from 100 – 109. Remember to insert the empty interval from 0 – 99. 
    ::下一步, 绘制并标出显示数据的频率表。 最小值为 108 , 这样第一个间隔可以为 100 - 109. 。 记住要插入 0 - 99 的空间隔 。

    Intervals Tally Frequency
    0 - 99   0
    100 - 109 | 1
