Explanation:

Step1: Analyze part (a)

In a bar - graph, the taller the bar, the greater the quantity. The green bar is the tallest. The height of the green bar corresponds to 11 T - shirts.

Step2: Analyze part (b)

The number of green T - shirts sold is 11 (from the bar - graph) and the number of tan T - shirts sold is 10. We use subtraction: \(11−10\).

Step3: Analyze part (c)

Count the number of bars with a height less than 7. The brown bar (7 units), black bar (7 units), tan bar (10 units), green bar (11 units), yellow bar (5 units). The yellow bar has a height of 5 which is less than 7.

Answer:

(a) green, 11
(b) \(1\)
(c) \(1\)
