Problem 2: Tyler’s Family Size Survey
Bar chart shows how many people live with certain numbers of family members.
-
1–2 family members: Bar reaches 6 → 6 people
-
3–4 family members: Bar reaches 14 → 14 people
-
5–6 family members: Bar reaches 18 → 18 people
-
7–8 family members: Bar reaches 4 → 4 people
a. How many people had 5–6 family members living at home?
→ Bar for “5–6” is at 18.
✔ Answer: 18
b. How many people had less than 5 family members living at home?
→ Less than 5 means “1–2” and “3–4” categories.
→ 6 (1–2) + 14 (3–4) =
20
✔ Answer: 20
c. Which class interval had the greatest frequency?
→ Tallest bar is “5–6” with 18 people.
✔ Answer: 5–6
d. How many people did Tyler ask in total?
→ Add all frequencies: 6 + 14 + 18 + 4 =
42
✔ Answer: 42

Problem 3: Shoe Sizes of Year 8 Students
This is a horizontal bar chart. The vertical axis shows shoe size, and the horizontal axis shows frequency (number of students).
Read the length of each bar:
-
Size 5: Bar ends at 25 → 25 students
-
Size 5.5: Bar ends at 20 → 20 students
-
Size 6: Bar ends at 45 → 45 students
-
Size 6.5: Bar ends at 30 → 30 students
-
Size 7: Bar ends at 60 → 60 students
a. Which shoe size is the mode?
→ Mode = most frequent value →
Size 7 (60 students)
✔ Answer: 7
b. How many more students wear size 7 than wear size 5?
→ Size 7: 60 students; Size 5: 25 students
→ Difference: 60 – 25 =
35
✔ Answer: 35
c. What is the range in shoe sizes?
→ Range = Highest value – Lowest value
→ Highest: 7; Lowest: 5 → 7 – 5 =
2
✔ Answer: 2
d. What fraction of students wear size 7?
→ First, find total number of students:
25 (size 5) + 20 (5.5) + 45 (6) + 30 (6.5) + 60 (7) =
180
→ Students wearing size 7: 60
→ Fraction = 60 / 180 =
1/3 (simplified)
✔ Answer: 1/3
