13. A teacher wanted to analyse the performance of two sections of students in a mathematics test of 100 marks. Looking at their performances, she found that a few students got under 20 marks and a few got 70 marks or above. So she decided to group them into intervals of varying sizes as follows: 0 – 20, 20 – 30, . . ., 60 – 70, 70 – 100. Then she formed the following table:

MarksNumber of students
0 – 20 7
20 – 3010
30 – 4010
40 – 5020
50 – 6020
60 – 7015
70 – above8
Total90

Draw a histogram to represent the given data.
