Question

The histogram to the right represents the weights​ (in pounds) of members of a certain​ high-school programming team. What is the class​ width? What are the approximate lower and upper class limits of the first​ class? 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 240 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Weight (lbs) Frequency A histogram with horizontal axis labeled "Weight (pounds)" from 100 to 240 in intervals of 20 and vertical axis labeled "Frequency" from 0 to 6 in intervals of 1 contains seven adjacent vertical bars with heights as follows: 100 to 120, 4; 120 to 140, 1; 140 to 160, 1; 160 to 180, 3; 180 to 200, 3; 200 to 220, 4; 220 to 240, 2. What is the class​ width? The class width is nothing. ​(Simplify your​ answer.) What are the approximate lower and upper class limits of the first​ class? The approximate lower class limit is nothing. The approximate upper class limit is nothing. ​(Simplify your​ answers.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Class width=20

Lower class limit of first class=100

Upper class limit of first class=120

Step-by-step explanation:

The class width can be calculated by taking the difference of two consecutive upper class limits or lower class limits.

Now we take any two consecutive upper class limits or lower class limits from classes 100-120,120-140,140-160,160-180,180-200,200-220,220-240.

We take upper class limits of first and second class i.e. 100 and 120.

Class width=120-100=20

Class width=20

The approximate lower and upper class limits of the first class from classes  100-120,120-140,140-160,160-180,180-200,200-220,220-240 are 100 and 120.

Class limits for first class is 100-120.

Lower class limit of first class=100

Upper class limit of first class=120
