Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image asks: "What is the frequency of times the limit was exceeded by more than 4 items?"
Looking at the histogram, the x-axis represents the number of items over the 10-item limit, and the y-axis represents the frequency of violations. We are interested in how many times the limit was exceeded by more than 4 items.
- The x-axis shows values from 1 to 7, and you need to find the frequency for values greater than 4.
- From the histogram:
- For 5 items over the limit, the frequency is around 10.
- For 6 items over the limit, the frequency is around 8.
- For 7 or more items over the limit (labeled as 7+), the frequency is around 6.
To get the total frequency of times the limit was exceeded by more than 4 items, you sum the frequencies for 5, 6, and 7+ items:
Thus, the frequency of times the limit was exceeded by more than 4 items is 24.
Would you like more details or explanations about histograms or frequency distributions?
Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:
- How can we calculate cumulative frequency from this histogram?
- What is the purpose of using a histogram in statistics?
- How would the frequency polygon for this data look like?
- What is the significance of the last bar representing "7 or more" items?
- How would this data change if grouped into wider intervals?
Tip: When interpreting histograms, pay attention to the scale of the x-axis and y-axis, as they can significantly affect the interpretation of the data.
