(a) How may pupils scored less than 8 marks?
(b) Find the number of pupils in the class?
(c) What marks was scored by the least number of pupils?
(d) How many pupils scored more than 5 marks?
(e) What marks was scored by the greatest number of pupils?
(f) How many pupils scored 6 marks?
First, let us construct the frequency table for the bar graph:
Marks scored 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
No. of pupils 2 5 3 6 7 10 10 1 6 8 6
(a) Number of pupils that scored less than 8
= Number of pupils that scored less than 9 mark in between 0-7.
= 2 + 5 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 10 + 10 + 1
= 44
(b) Number of pupils in the class
= 2 + 5 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 10 + 10 + 1 + 6 + 8 + 6
= 64
(c) Marks scored by least number of pupils:
Looking at the frequency table, we can see that only one student
scored 7 marks in the test.
Thus, the marks scored by least number of students is 7 marks.
(d) Number of students that scored more than 5
= number of students scored in between 6 - 10.
= 10 + 1 + 6 + 8 + 6
= 31
(e) Marks scored by greatest number of pupils:
Looking at the frequency table, we can see that 10 students scored 5
marks and 10 students scored 6 marks in the test.
Thus, the marks scored by greatest number of students is 5 and 6
marks.
(f) Number of students who scored 6 marks are 10.

Ayo Oho Ahmed Edak
Children
a. How much money does Oho have?
b. Who has the largest amount of money?
c. How much mony do the children have altogether?
d. How much more money do Edak have than Ahmed?
Child Ayo Oho Ahmed Edak
Amout of money N
= 45 N
= 30 N
= 25 N
= 40
a. N
= 30
b. Ayo
c. Total money = N
= 45 + N
= 30 + N
= 25 + N
= 40 = N
= 140
d. Amount of money with Edak = N
= 40
Amount of money with Ahmed = N
= 25
N
= 40 - N
= 25 = N
= 15
Therefore, Edak has N
= 15 more than Ahmed.
