Constructing and Interpreting Frequency Tables

Example 4:
A pupil counts the colours of the cars passing an intersection for an hour. Below is the result. Form a frequency table
to show the results.

black black blue red white white black red red blue red black red white blue
white blue blue white white blue white red white black red white black red red
black red blue red white white black white white blue white red white blue blue
blue black white blue white white blue blue black blue white blue red white red

Colour of Cars Tally Frequency

Black
Red
White
Blue
Question 1: What percent of the cars are blue in colour?

Question 2: What fraction of the cars are not red?

Example 5:

The teacher measures the height of students in her class. Compile the figures in a frequency table.

165 170 155 152 167 172 166 147 151 153 164 170 162 170 155
159 166 162 160 173 148 147 145 169 171 170 180 150 152 179
146 147 165 160 141 168 177 167 143 152 158 162 170 179 155

Height (cm) Tally Frequency

140 < x ≤ 150
150 < x ≤ 160
160 < x ≤ 170
170 < x ≤ 180

Question 1: How many students are taller than 160cm?

Question 2: What percentage of students are not taller than 150cm?
