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
