Question

In a farm house, there are $30$ chickens weighing less than $2$ kg, $70$ chickens weighing less than $4$ kg and $90$ chickens weighing less than $6$ kg. Idendtify the correct histogram plot for the same.

• A.
• B.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

The given data is as follows: Weight (kg) Number Chickens

$\text{Weight}<2$	$30$
$\text{Weight}<4$	$70$
$\text{Weight}<6$	$90$

Converting the given data in grouped data by subtracting the preceding data, if any, from the corresponding cumulative number of chickens we get,
Weight (kg) Number Chickens

$0\le \text{Weight}<2$	$30$
$2\le \text{Weight}<4$	$70-30=40$
$4\le \text{Weight}<6$	$90-70=20$

The corresponding histogram is
