Math Problem Statement
What is the sample size for this data set?
Solution
To determine the sample size for the data set, we need to sum the frequencies of all the bars in the histogram. Observing the histogram:
- 60-64: Frequency = 1
- 64-68: Frequency = 2
- 68-72: Frequency = 7
- 72-76: Frequency = 12
- 76-80: Frequency = 8
- 80-84: Frequency = 5
- 84-88: Frequency = 4
Now, add up the frequencies:
Thus, the sample size is 39.
