Histogram- (with only absolute freq. table and its classes)

[danielkoiti]

How do i do a histogram if I have only the frequency table with its respective classes. Something like:

n.sells abs.freq
1 [30-35) 2
2 [35-40) 10
3 [40-45) 18
4 [45-50) 50
5 [50-55) 70
6 [55-60) 30
7 [60-65) 18
8 [65-70) 2

Here are two versions.

library(tibble)
library(ggplot2)
DF <- tribble(~n.sells, ~abs.freq,
"[30-35)", 2,
"[35-40)", 10,
"[40-45)", 18,
"[45-50)", 50,
"[50-55)", 70,
"[55-60)", 30,
"[60-65)", 18,
"[65-70)", 2)
barplot(abs.freq~n.sells,data = DF)

ggplot(DF,aes(n.sells,abs.freq)) + geom_col()

wow!! thanks a lot! However, using only 'hist', how can i do it? I made one using barplot but isn't acceptable. Is there a way to always do it when I have only this type of table?

Well, having a frequency table you can make a mock data set, as in the code below. I do not see how that would be a useful thing to do, but the world is full of wonders.

DF <- tribble(~n.sells, ~abs.freq,
"[30-35)", 2,
"[35-40)", 10,
"[40-45)", 18,
"[45-50)", 50,
"[50-55)", 70,
"[55-60)", 30,
"[60-65)", 18,
"[65-70)", 2)

Vals <- seq(30,65,5)
DATA <- unlist(mapply(function(V,f) rep(V,f), Vals, DF$abs.freq))
hist(DATA,breaks=Vals,right = FALSE)
