The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st October 2022A grouped frequency table has intervals of unequal width, 0 <= x < 10 and 10 <= x < 40. Explain why this could make the table misleading when drawing a histogram.
