This can be achieved by followin steps:
Step 1:
The data file is in raw data form. The raw data can be arranged in the form of Frequency Distribution giving frequencies for the various class intervals.
Step 2:
Once frequency distribution is formed, the same can be depicted in
graphical displays: Frequency, polygon, histogram, bar chart, pie
chart etc. so that visually one can see how the data is
