Questions: The students in a science class took a field trip to a pond. They were all asked to catch a frog and measure its weight (in ounces). The following histogram displays the results. How many frogs weigh greater than 14.5 ounces?

Solution Steps

The question asks for the number of frogs that weigh greater than 14.5 ounces. We need to focus on the bars in the histogram that represent weights greater than 14.5 ounces.

From the histogram:

• The bar for the range 14.5 to 15.5 has a frequency of 4.
• The bar for the range 15.5 to 16.5 has a frequency of 2.

Add the frequencies of the bars that represent weights greater than 14.5 ounces:

• 4 (from 14.5 to 15.5) + 2 (from 15.5 to 16.5) = 6
