• C. 20 , 16.66 %
• D. 30 , 6.66 %

Answer 1

The correct option is D

30 , 6.66 %

i) The total number of people in the height range 149.5 – 159.5 cm = 9

The total number of people in the entire height range = 30

Percentage of people in the height range 149.5 – 159.5 cm
= $\frac{9}{30}\times 100$ = 30%

ii) Number of people in the height group 159.5 -169.5 cm = 7

Number of people in the height group 169.5 - 179.5 cm = 5

difference between height group 159.5 – 169.5 cm and 169.5 – 179.5 cm = 7-5 = 2

Percentage difference between height group 159.5 – 169.5 cm and 169.5 – 179.5 cm
= $\frac{2}{30}\times 100=$ 6.66%
