In the given frequency distribution, the class intervals are not of equal width. So, we would make modifications in the heights of the rectangles in the histogram in such a way that the areas of the rectangles are proportional to the frequencies.
Here, minimum class size `=1`
`therefore` height of the rectangle for a given class interval `=(("its frequency")/("its width")xx1)`
For example, the height of the rectangle for `10-15` is `((10)/(5)xx1)=2`
The height of the rectangle for 7-10 is `((9)/(3)xx1)=3`, etc.
Thus, we have

Now, we draw rectangles with given class intervals along the `x` -axis on a suitable scale and their corresponding heights along the `y` -axis on another suitable scale. Thus, we obtain the histogram of the given data, as shown below.
