Solution
The given graph is a histogram that shows the grouped frequency distribution of the number of boys in the respective age groups.
For example, the following table shows the data for the first two groups:
Age Group (years)
Number of Boys
0≤Age<5
60
5≤Age<10
65
Here, the group 0−5 years excludes the data for exactly 5 years boys, if any.
And, the group 5−10 years includes the data for exactly 5 years boys, if any.
Similarly, the data for exactly 10 years boys, if any, is exluded from the group 5−10 years
Hence, by adding the number of boys in both the groups will result the required number of students.
∴ It is possible to find the total number of boys in the age group 0−10 years using the given data.
