Respuesta :

The answer would be B) .21

Answer:

B) 0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we first need to know the total number of students, which is the sum of all frequencies

[tex]N=5+2+0+3+6+5+4+2+0+1=28[/tex]

Then, we look for the total number of students 52 inches tall.

According to the table, there are only 6 students 52 inches tall.

So, the probability would be the quotient between 6 and 28

[tex]P=\frac{6}{28} \approx 0.21[/tex]

Therefore, the right answer is B.
