Math Problem Statement

How many black cherry trees are represented by this histogram?

Solution

The histogram in your image represents the number of black cherry trees categorized by height in feet. The x-axis shows the height in intervals (60-65, 65-70, etc.), and the y-axis shows the frequency, i.e., how many trees fall into each height range.

To find out how many black cherry trees are represented by this histogram, we need to sum the frequencies across all the intervals.

Here’s the breakdown:

  • For 60-65 feet: Frequency is 2.
  • For 65-70 feet: Frequency is 4.
  • For 70-75 feet: Frequency is 9.
  • For 75-80 feet: Frequency is 6.
  • For 80-85 feet: Frequency is 3.
  • For 85-90 feet: Frequency is 1.

Adding all these frequencies together:

2+4+9+6+3+1=252 + 4 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 25

It appears the total number of trees represented by this histogram is 25. However, the answer choices provided do not match this sum. You may want to review the options again, but based on the histogram, the correct total should be 25.
