4. The length of 40 leaves of a plant are measured correct to one millimetre, and the obtained data is represented in the following table:
Length (in mm)Number of leaves
118−126118-1263
127−135127-1355
136−144136-1449
145−153145-15312
154−162154-1625
163−171163-1714
172−180172-1802
(i) Draw a histogram to represent the given data. [Hint: First make the class intervals continuous] (ii) Is there any other suitable graphical representation for the same data? (iii) Is it correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves are 153 mm long? Why?
