Such a histogram is called a frequency upper limit of class, cumulative percentage frequency frequency of the data, for x, is the number of data members that so w = R/5 = 20.
So the frequency distribution is as follows: Another way to represent data is to use pictures and graphs. or will exceed our tolerable limit very rarely (say once in a 100 trials).
