Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the total number of streams

The total number of streams in severe distress is given as 55.

Step 2: Sum the number of streams from the visible regions

From the bar graph:

  • Southeast: 10 streams
  • Southwest: 25 streams
  • Northwest: 10 streams

Sum of streams from visible regions: \[ 10 + 25 + 10 = 45 \]

Step 3: Calculate the number of streams from the Northeast

Subtract the sum of streams from the visible regions from the total number of streams: \[ 55 - 45 = 10 \]

Final Answer

The number of streams from the Northeast is 10.
