Question

Given the following histogram for a set of data, how many values in the data set are between 5.5 and 8.5?765Frequency210|3.54.55.58.56.5 7.5Values9.510.5

Answer 1

To solve the exercise, we add the frequency between the intervals 5.5 - 6.5, 6.5 - 7.5, and 7.5 - 8.5:

• Frequency between 5.5 and 6.5: 7

,

• Frequency between 6.5 and 7.5: 5

,

• Frequency between 7.5 and 8.5: 5

`7+5+5=17`

Therefore, there are 17 values in the data set between 5.5 and 8.5.
