Questions: Data was collected for 40 randomly selected trees growing in the median strip of a busy freeway. The height of each tree (in inches) was recorded. Data was recorded to the nearest whole inch. The data is summarized in the histogram below. What is the maximum possible tree height for the data recorded for this histogram? Note: Each class contains its lower class boundary, but not its upper class boundary. maximum = Enter an integer or decimal number

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Histogram

The histogram shows the distribution of tree heights in inches. Each bar represents a range of heights, and the height of the bar indicates the frequency of trees within that range.

Step 2: Identify the Class Intervals

The class intervals are:

  • 15 to 20 inches
  • 20 to 25 inches
  • 25 to 30 inches
  • 30 to 35 inches
  • 35 to 40 inches
  • 40 to 45 inches
  • 45 to 50 inches
  • 50 to 55 inches
Step 3: Determine the Maximum Possible Tree Height

Each class contains its lower class boundary but not its upper class boundary. Therefore, the maximum possible tree height is just below the upper boundary of the last class interval.

Final Answer

The maximum possible tree height is 55 inches.
