Explanation:

Step1: Count data in 40 - 50

The number 47 is in the 40 - 50 range. So the frequency for 40 - 50 is 1.

Step2: Count data in 50 - 60

The numbers 52, 53, 55, 57 are in the 50 - 60 range. So the frequency is 4.

Step3: Count data in 60 - 70

The numbers 60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 65, 65, 68 are in the 60 - 70 range. So the frequency is 8.

Step4: Count data in 70 - 80

The numbers 70, 72, 72, 75, 75, 75, 76, 77 are in the 70 - 80 range. So the frequency is 8.

Step5: Count data in 80 - 90

The numbers 80, 81, 82, 85, 88, 89 are in the 80 - 90 range. So the frequency is 6.

Step6: Count data in 90 - 100

The number 90 is in the 90 - 100 range. So the frequency is 1.

Answer:

days to produce fruit	frequency
50 - 60	4
60 - 70	8
70 - 80	8
80 - 90	6
90 - 100	1
