Problem Description:
The task involves analyzing the given data on the frequency of different modes of transport. The table provides the following information:
| Mode of transport | Frequency |
|-------------------|-----------|
| Walking | 29 |
| Cycling | 15 |
| Car | 35 |
| Bus | 18 |
| Train | 3 |
We need to solve a problem related to this data. Since the specific problem is not explicitly stated in the question, I will assume a common task:
Determining the most and least frequent modes of transport and
calculating the total number of observations.
---
Solution:
#### Step 1: Identify the most frequent mode of transport
To find the most frequent mode of transport, we compare the frequencies listed in the table:
- Walking: 29
- Cycling: 15
- Car: 35
- Bus: 18
- Train: 3
The highest frequency is
35, which corresponds to the mode of transport
Car.
Most frequent mode of transport: Car
#### Step 2: Identify the least frequent mode of transport
To find the least frequent mode of transport, we again compare the frequencies:
- Walking: 29
- Cycling: 15
- Car: 35
- Bus: 18
- Train: 3
The lowest frequency is
3, which corresponds to the mode of transport
Train.
Least frequent mode of transport: Train
#### Step 3: Calculate the total number of observations
To find the total number of observations, we sum the frequencies of all modes of transport:
\[
\text{Total} = \text{Walking} + \text{Cycling} + \text{Car} + \text{Bus} + \text{Train}
\]
Substitute the values from the table:
\[
\text{Total} = 29 + 15 + 35 + 18 + 3
\]
Perform the addition step-by-step:
\[
29 + 15 = 44
\]
\[
44 + 35 = 79
\]
\[
79 + 18 = 97
\]
\[
97 + 3 = 100
\]
Total number of observations: 100
---
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{Most frequent: Car, Least frequent: Train, Total observations: 100}}
\]
