Histograms worksheet: Answers and working
Part A: Working out and filling in
1. 45
The five bars' heights from 20 on, added: 13 + 4 + 8 + 8 + 12 = 45.
2. 13
Read across from the top of the 50–59 bar to the scale: 13.
3. 12
The covered bar is the class 60–69. The other bars add up to 30: 42 − 30 = 12.
4. 25
From the class starting at 80, add the heights of it and every bar after: 25.
5. 30, 39, 9
The whole numbers between the boundaries 29.5 and 39.5 run from 30 to 39; the bar is 9 tall.
6. 2
The covered bar is the class 20–29. The other bars add up to 31: 33 − 31 = 2.
7. 6, 49
The bar at mark 44.5 is 6 tall. With width 10 the boundaries are 44.5 ± 5, so the class ends at 44.5 + 5 and its upper limit is 49.
8. 28%
50 or more: 7 players; 7 ÷ 25 × 100% = 28%.
9. 84%
60 or more: 21 players; 21 ÷ 25 × 100% = 84%.
Part B: Choose, or true or false
