What is the variable being represented by the histogram? Is the discrete or continuous? 2. How many students are over 170cm tall? 3. How many students are there in all? 4. What is the minimum height possible of the shortest student? 5. What is the minimum height possible of the tallest student? Solution: 1, The variable being represented is the height of the students in a class. It is continuous since it has to be measured and not counted 2. There are 9 + 5 = 14 students over 170cm tall 3. There are thirty students in all 4. The lowest class interval is 150cm ?1 55cm, so the minimum height possible is 160cm 5. The highest class interval is 175cm ?180cm, so the maximum height possible in that group is 175m.Question 13 List given below was made by a researcher to record the number of bacteria in each sample side.
