\[

\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the frequency of each bin
The histogram shows the frequency of the amount of sugar in mg for each bin.
The bins and their corresponding frequencies are:
160-162 mg: 2
162-164 mg: 4
164-166 mg: 10
166-168 mg: 14
168-170 mg: 10
170-172 mg: 4
172-174 mg: 2
Step 2: Sum the frequencies
Add the frequencies of all the bins to find the total sample size.
2 + 4 + 10 + 14 + 10 + 4 + 2 = 46
Final Answer
The sample size for this data set is \( n = 46 \).
