Question

In which grade the number of students who are absent is maximum?

• A. Grade $6$
• B. Grade $8$
• C. Grade $7$
• D. Not possible to determine.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Grade $8$

We can see from the table, there are $2$ students absent in grade $6$, $4$ students absent in grade $7$ and $13$ students absent in grade $8$.

$\Rightarrow 5$ is represented by 4 vertical lines and 1 line that cuts the 4 vertical lines.

Hence, number of students absent in Grade $8$ $=5+5+3=13$
$\therefore$ We can say that maximum number of students are absent in grade $8$.

So, option $\left(b\right)$ is correct.
