In an effort to provide high-quality and safe playgrounds for kids, our reputable manufacturers adhere to the playground safety guidelines set forth by the Indian Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Indian Society for Advancement of Materials and Processing Engineering (ISAMPE). These organizations set the guidelines for determining the types of playground equipment that is appropriate for kids within specific age groups: 2-3 years, 3-5 years, 5-7 years, 7-10 years, 10-15 years, and 15-17 years. A random survey of the number of children of various age groups playing in a park was found as follows:

Age (in years)
Number of children
1-2

The histogram is as given below:

  1. In this question, the class sizes are different. So, calculate the adjusted frequency for each class by using the following formula:

Frequency density or adjusted frequency for class:

  1. $\frac{\text{Minimum class size}}{\text{Class size of this class}}\times\text{Its Frequency}$

  2. $\frac{\text{Minimum class mark}}{\text{Class size of this class}}\times\text{Its Frequency}$

  3. $\frac{\text{Minimum Frequency}}{\text{Class size of this class}}\times\text{Its class size}$

  4. $\frac{\text{Minimum class mark}}{\text{Class mark of this class}}$

  1. In this question the minimum class size is:
  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. 2
  4. 3
  1. The class limits of third class interval 3-5:

  2. Lower limit = 5, upper limit = 7
  3. Lower limit = 3, upper limit = 5
  4. Lower limit = 7, upper limit = 5
  1. Adjusted Frequency for class interval 5-7 and 7-10:
  1. 3, 6
