38, 42, 50, 57, 65
(i) Arrange the data into the following unequal class intervals and prepare a grouped frequency table:
0–20,20–30,30–50,50–70,70–100
(ii) For every class, calculate the frequency density.
(iii) On graph paper, draw a histogram for the distribution you have prepared.
(iv) Using your histogram, state the score range in which the marks are most densely concentrated per mark of the interval.
