Problem Analysis and Solution
The image contains three sections with tasks related to histograms. Let's solve each section step by step.
---
#### Section 1: Histogram of Ages
Histogram Description:
- The histogram shows the frequency of people entering a mall, grouped into age ranges: 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, and 40+.
- The frequencies for each age range are as follows (estimated from the histogram):
- 0-9: 3
- 10-19: 5
- 20-29: 7
- 30-39: 4
- 40+: 2
Questions:
1. How many people were 20 years or older?
- People in the age ranges 20-29, 30-39, and 40+:
- 20-29: 7
- 30-39: 4
- 40+: 2
- Total: \( 7 + 4 + 2 = 13 \)
- Answer: 13
2. How many people were surveyed?
- Sum of all frequencies:
- 0-9: 3
- 10-19: 5
- 20-29: 7
- 30-39: 4
- 40+: 2
- Total: \( 3 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 2 = 21 \)
- Answer: 21
3. What percentage of people were under 10?
- Number of people under 10: 3
- Total number of people surveyed: 21
- Percentage: \( \frac{3}{21} \times 100 \approx 14.29\% \)
- Answer: 14.29%
4. What percentage of people were between 20 and 39?
- Number of people between 20 and 39:
- 20-29: 7
- 30-39: 4
- Total: \( 7 + 4 = 11 \)
- Total number of people surveyed: 21
- Percentage: \( \frac{11}{21} \times 100 \approx 52.38\% \)
- Answer: 52.38%
5. Estimate the mean age of the people surveyed.
- To estimate the mean, we use the midpoint of each age range and multiply it by the frequency, then divide by the total number of people.
- Midpoints:
- 0-9: 4.5
- 10-19: 14.5
- 20-29: 24.5
- 30-39: 34.5
- 40+: 45 (assuming an average of 45 for simplicity)
- Calculation:
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{(4.5 \times 3) + (14.5 \times 5) + (24.5 \times 7) + (34.5 \times 4) + (45 \times 2)}{21}
\]
\[
= \frac{(13.5) + (72.5) + (171.5) + (138) + (90)}{21}
\]
\[
= \frac{585.5}{21} \approx 27.88
\]
- Answer: 27.88

#### Section 2: Histogram of Car Ages
Histogram Description:
- The histogram shows the frequency of households based on the age of their primary vehicle in years: 0-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9+.
- The frequencies for each car age range are as follows (estimated from the histogram):
- 0-2: 10
- 3-4: 20
- 5-6: 40
- 7-8: 60
- 9+: 70
Questions:
6. How many households were surveyed?
- Sum of all frequencies:
- 0-2: 10
- 3-4: 20
- 5-6: 40
- 7-8: 60
- 9+: 70
- Total: \( 10 + 20 + 40 + 60 + 70 = 200 \)
- Answer: 200
7. What percentage of households had cars that are older than 7 years?
- Number of households with cars older than 7 years:
- 7-8: 60
- 9+: 70
- Total: \( 60 + 70 = 130 \)
- Total number of households surveyed: 200
- Percentage: \( \frac{130}{200} \times 100 = 65\% \)
- Answer: 65%
8. What percentage of households have cars that are 5 years or older?
- Number of households with cars 5 years or older:
- 5-6: 40
- 7-8: 60
- 9+: 70
- Total: \( 40 + 60 + 70 = 170 \)
- Total number of households surveyed: 200
- Percentage: \( \frac{170}{200} \times 100 = 85\% \)
- Answer: 85%
9. How many households had cars between 3 and 8 years old?
- Number of households with cars between 3 and 8 years old:
- 3-4: 20
- 5-6: 40
- 7-8: 60
- Total: \( 20 + 40 + 60 = 120 \)
- Answer: 120
10. Most households had cars in which range?
- The highest frequency is in the 9+ range (70 households).
- Answer: 9+
11. How many households have cars that are 4 years or less?
- Number of households with cars 4 years or less:
- 0-2: 10
- 3-4: 20
- Total: \( 10 + 20 = 30 \)
- Answer: 30

#### Section 3: Creating a Histogram for Heights
Data:
- Heights in inches: 60", 58", 63", 65", 72", 68", 74", 63", 68", 62", 66", 70", 65"
Task:
- Create a histogram using the provided data and the given bins: 58-60, 61-63, 64-66, 67-69, 70+.
Solution:
1. Count the frequencies for each bin:
- 58-60: 2 (58, 60)
- 61-63: 3 (61, 62, 63)
- 64-66: 3 (64, 65, 65)
- 67-69: 3 (67, 68, 68)
- 70+: 4 (70, 72, 74)
2. Plot the histogram:
- The x-axis represents the height ranges (bins).
- The y-axis represents the frequency.
- Frequencies:
- 58-60: 2
- 61-63: 3
- 64-66: 3
- 67-69: 3
- 70+: 4
Answer: The histogram is created with the above frequencies.
