The given histogram shows the frequency distribution of the speed of cars passing through a particular spot on a highway. Read the graph and answer the following questions. The number of cars with speed (km/h) in the interval (60 - 70) km/h is what percentage less than the number of cars with speed (km/h) in the interval (70 - 80) km/h? (correct to one decimal place)
The given histogram shows the frequency distribution of the speed of cars passing through a particular spot on a highway. Read the graph and answer the following questions. The number of cars with speed (km/h) in the interval (60 - 70) km/h is what percentage less than the number of cars with speed (km/h) in the interval (70 - 80) km/h? (correct to one decimal place) Correct Answer 5.6%
Given:
|
Speed Of Cars (In Km/h) |
Number of Cars |
|
40 – 50 |
50 |
|
50 – 60 |
70 |
|
60 – 70 |
85 |
|
70 – 80 |
90 |
|
80 – 90 |
60 |
|
90 - 100 |
45 |
Calculation:
Number of Cars Between the Speed Interval of (60 - 70) Km/h = 85
Number of Cars between the Speed Interval of (70 - 80) Km/h = 90
Difference between the Two Speed Intervals = 90 – 85 = 5
Less Percentage = (Difference/Number of Cars between Interval (70 - 80)Km/h) × 100
⇒ Less Percentage = (5/90) × 100
⇒ 50/9 = 5.6%
∴ The Number of Cars between speed interval (60 - 70) Km/h is 5.6% less than the Number of Cars between speed interval (70 - 80) Km/h
