Steps of Construction:

(i) We represent the weights on the horizontal axis. We choose the scale on horizontal axis as 1 cm = 5 kg. Also, since the first class interval is starting from 35 and not zero, we show it on the graph by marking a kink or a break on the axis.

(ii) We represent the number of people (frequency) on the vertical axis. Since the maximum frequency is 28, we choose the scale as 1 cm = 5 people.

(iii) We now draw rectangles (or rectangular bars) of width equal to the class-size and lengths according to the frequencies of the corresponding class intervals.
