Data was collected for 40 randomly selected trees growing in the median strip of a busy freeway. The height of each tree (in inches) was recorded. Data was recorded to the nearest whole inch. The data is summarized in the histogram below. 2 4 6 8 10 height (in) 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 Frequency
What is the maximum possible tree height for the data recorded for this histogram? Note: Each class contains its lower class boundary, but not its upper class boundary.
Minimum tree height = inches Maximum tree height = inches

minimum = 20 inches

maximum = 49 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The height data in the question is

10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50.

From above we have the classes as:

10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49,

The minimum tree height bus from the first class. While the maximum tree height is from the last class.

The first class is 10-14, so the minimum height = 10 inches

The last class is 45-49 so the maximum height inches = 49 inches.

The maximum tree height from the classes I have grouped is 49 inches since 49 is the upper limit from the last class.

The minimum tree height is 10 inches

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

15 / 2 = 7.5

100 / 7.5 = 13.
