garden club fundraiser
histogram with x - axis: number of plants (30 - 39, 40 - 49, 50 - 59, 60 - 69, 70 - 79) and y - axis: number of members (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30)
how many garden members sold 50 or more plants during the fundraiser?
a. 34 members
b. 18 members
c. 14 members
d. 48 members

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant intervals

The intervals for 50 or more plants are 50 - 59, 60 - 69, and 70 - 79.

Step2: Read bar heights

• For 50 - 59: height is 14 (assuming the blue bar is 14)
• For 60 - 69: height is 6 (assuming the red bar is 6)
• For 70 - 79: height is 28 (assuming the purple bar is 28)

Step3: Sum the values

Add the number of members in each interval: \(14 + 6 + 28 = 48\).

Answer:

D. 48 members
