Observe the histogram figure and answer the questions given below:

(i) What information is being given by the histogram?
(ii) Which group contains maximum girls?
(iii) How many girls have a height of 145 cm and more?
(iv) If we divide the girls into the following three categories, how many would there be in each?
150 cm and more                                                         -Group A
140 cm to less than 150 cm                                         -Group B
Less than 140 cm                                                         -Group C

Answer

(i) The above histogram represents the heights (in cms) of girls of Class VIII.
(ii) The group 140–145 contains maximum number of girls (which has as much as 7 girls).
(iii) 1 girls (= 4 + 2 + 1) have a height of 145 cm and more.
(iv) Number of girls in
Group A: 150 cm and more = 2+1=3 girls
Group B: 140 cm to less than 150 cm = 7 + 4 = 11 girls
Group C: Less than 140 cm = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 girls
Note: The broken line is used along the horizontal line to indicate that we are not showing the numbers between 0 and 125.
