Question

Students in a school were asked to collect old bottles as part of a recycling drive. Some of the data recorded at the drive is shown in the histogram below:
Which information is not provided in the histogram?


The total number of students who collected bottles

The number of students who collected exactly 9 bottles

The number of students who collected 3 or fewer bottles

The total number of students who collected 7 or fewer bottles

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of students who collected exactly 9 bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given histogram shows the number of students who participated in the recyling drive & their old bottle waste collection.

We can find out the total number of students who participated just by looking at the histogram (students = 10), the number of students who colected bottles below 7 or 3 bottles etc.

But since the number of bottles is given in the form of grouped data, one cannot infer the exact number of bottles collected by students.

Hence, out of the given statements, 'The number of students who collected exactly 9 bottles' is the incorrect one.
