(2 points) a 0, 21.67% b 0, 11.75% c 5 or more, 5.6% d 4, 4.53%

Answer 1

Answer: d. 4, 4.53%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given table :

Number of Children                 Frequency

0                                                      325  

1                                                       212

2                                                       660

3                                                       151

4                                                       68  ← Least frequency

5 or more                                         84

Total                                 =            1500

or Sample size of couples = 1500

The number of children occurred the least frequently = 4 [Minimum frequency is 68 at number of children=4]

Percentage =$\dfrac{least\ frequency}{Total}\times100$

$\dfrac{68}{1500}\times100=4.53\%$

Hence, the correct answer is d. 4, 4.53%
