Question

A histogram is titled "Number of Siblings" with number of siblings on the horizontal axis and frequency on the y-axis. Four columns are plotted. The number of siblings ranges from 1 to 4 in increments of 1. The frequency ranges from 0 to 13 in increments of 1. The graph shows the following data: the frequency of 1 sibling is 12, the frequency of 2 siblings is 5, the frequency of 3 siblings is 3, and the frequency of 4 siblings is 1.

Students were asked the number of siblings they have, and the data are represented in the histogram. What percentage of students have 2 or more siblings? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

To determine the percentage of students who have 2 or more siblings based on the histogram data, we need to first find the total number of students surveyed.

From the histogram data:

• Frequency of students with 1 sibling = 12
• Frequency of students with 2 siblings = 5
• Frequency of students with 3 siblings = 3
• Frequency of students with 4 siblings = 1

Now, we will calculate the total number of students:

Total students = Frequency of 1 + Frequency of 2 + Frequency of 3 + Frequency of 4 Total students = 12 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 21

Next, we will calculate the number of students with 2 or more siblings:

Students with 2 or more siblings = Frequency of 2 + Frequency of 3 + Frequency of 4 Students with 2 or more siblings = 5 + 3 + 1 = 9

Now, we can find the percentage of students who have 2 or more siblings:

Percentage = (Number of students with 2 or more siblings / Total students) × 100 Percentage = (9 / 21) × 100 ≈ 42.8571

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the percentage of students who have 2 or more siblings is approximately 43%.
