Q2. Electricity energy consumption is the form of energy consumption that uses
electric energy. Global electricity consumption continues to increase faster than
world population, leading to an increase in the average amount of electricity
consumed per person( per capita electricity consumption)
A survey is conducted for 56 families of colony A. The following table gives the
weekly consumption of electricity of these households.
