1. **State the problem:** We have 30 heights of adult males and need to construct a frequency distribution and a frequency histogram using 5 classes.
2. **Find the range:** The smallest height is 67 and the largest is 74.
3. **Calculate class width:**
$$\text{Class width} = \frac{\text{Max} - \text{Min}}{\text{Number of classes}} = \frac{74 - 67}{5} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4$$
We round up to 2 for easier class intervals.
4. **Define classes:** Starting from 67, classes are:
- 67 to <69
- 69 to <71
- 71 to <73
- 73 to <75
- 75 to <77 (no data here but to keep 5 classes)
5. **Count frequencies:**
- 67 to <69: 67, 67 (2), 68, 68, 68, 68 (6 total)
- 69 to <71: 69, 69, 69, 69, 69 (5), 70, 70, 70, 70, 70 (5) total 10
- 71 to <73: 71, 71, 71, 71, 71, 71, 71 (7), 72, 72 (2) total 9
- 73 to <75: 73, 73, 74, 74 (4)
- 75 to <77: none (0)
6. **Frequency distribution table:**
| Class Interval | Frequency |
|----------------|-----------|
| 67 - 68 | 6 |
| 69 - 70 | 10 |
| 71 - 72 | 9 |
| 73 - 74 | 4 |
| 75 - 76 | 0 |
7. **Frequency histogram:** Plot bars with class intervals on x-axis and frequencies on y-axis.
Final answer: Frequency distribution as above and histogram with these classes and frequencies.
