Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a table with days of the week, tally marks, and an empty “Frequency” column. Our job is to fill in the frequency for each day based on the tally marks.
Remember:
- Each single line (|) = 1
- A group of five is shown as four lines with a diagonal slash through them (like this: ), which means 5
- Then any extra lines after that are added normally
Now let’s go day by day:
Monday: Tally is |||| → That’s 4 lines → Frequency =
4
Tuesday: Tally is || → That’s 2 lines → Frequency =
2
Wednesday: Tally is | → That’s 1 line → Frequency =
1
Thursday: Tally is ||| → That’s 3 lines → Frequency =
3
Friday: Tally is ⧸| → The first part (⧸) is 5, then one more line → 5 + 1 =
6
So now we can fill in the frequencies:
- Monday: 4
- Tuesday: 2
- Wednesday: 1
- Thursday: 3
- Friday: 6
Final Answer:
Monday: 4, Tuesday: 2, Wednesday: 1, Thursday: 3, Friday: 6
