How many frogs weigh greater than 14.5 ounces?
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the relevant data range
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.
Step 2: Count the frequencies for the relevant data range
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.
Step 3: Sum the frequencies
Add the frequencies of the bars that represent weights greater than 14.5 ounces:
