Question

The frequency polygon shows the distances thrown by the entrants in the University and College Discus Finals at the 2003 Drake Relays. What percent of the entrants had distances between 150 and 160 feet? Round your answer to two decimal places

Answer 1

Answer:

70.83% entrants will have distances between 150 and 160.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete without an attachment; here is the attachment enclosed with the answer.

From the graph attached,

Number of entrants having distances between 150 and 160 feet = 8 + 9 = 17

Number of entrants between 140 and 200 feet = 8 + 9 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 24

Percent of entrants having distance between 150 and 160 feet = $\frac{\text{Number of entrants between 150 and 160}}{\text{Number of total entrants}}\times 100$

= $\frac{17}{24}\times 100$

= 70.83%

Therefore, 70.83% entrants will have distances between 150 and 160.
