Q. The histogram below shows information about the honey produced by some beehives in one year.\newline600600 beehives each produced between 16 kg 16 \mathrm{~kg} and 18 kg 18 \mathrm{~kg} of honey.\newlineUse this information to work out the value of x x on the frequency density axis. If your answer is a decimal, give it to 11 d.p.
  1. Find Class Width: Find the class width for the histogram.\newlineClass width = Upper boundary - Lower boundary\newlineClass width = 18kg18\,\text{kg} - 16kg16\,\text{kg}\newlineClass width = 2kg2\,\text{kg}
  2. Use Frequency Density Formula: Use the formula for frequency density. Frequency density = FrequencyClass width\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Class width}} Frequency density = x2kg\frac{x}{2\text{kg}}
  3. Solve for x: Solve for x using the given frequency.\newline600600 beehives each produced between 16kg16\,\text{kg} and 18kg18\,\text{kg}.\newlinex=Frequency density×Class widthx = \text{Frequency density} \times \text{Class width}\newlinex=600×2kgx = 600 \times 2\,\text{kg}\newlinex=1200x = 1200
