1 answer

i. The type of measurement for the data is interval and the scale of measurement is discrete.

ii. A histogram chart would be used to represent the above data.

iii. [Please note that I am unable to create an actual chart in this text-based format, but here is a description of how you could create a histogram for this data:

- On the x-axis, label each bar with the ranges of marks (0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49).
- On the y-axis, label the number of students.
- Create bars for each range with the height corresponding to the number of students in that range: 10 students for 0-9, 8 students for 10-19, 12 students for 20-29, 15 students for 30-39.
- Your histogram should have 5 bars representing each range of marks.]
