d) 17-21
View Answer
Explanation: The height of the bar represents the number of data items in the given data range called frequency. Maximum frequency in the given histogram is 24 which is for the range 13-17. So maximum people are older than 13 and younger than 17 years.
6. Below is the histogram of number of people in the age range from 1 – 25 years.
How many people are represented by the given histogram?
a) 37

How many students are represented in the given histogram?
a) 43
b) 53
c) 10
d) 21
View Answer
Explanation: The height of the bar represents the number of data items in the given data range called frequency. The total students represented by given histogram is sum of frequency of 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 which gives us 53.
