A histogram is drawn with three columns whose widths are in the ratio 1: 2: 4. The frequency densities of these classes are in the ratio 16: 12: 3, respectively.

Given that the total frequency of the data is 390 , find the frequency of each class.

The classes with the two highest frequencies are to be merged and a new histogram drawn. Given that the height of the column representing the merged classes is to be 30 cm, find the correct height for the remaining column.

The histograms below illustrate the number of hours of sunshine during August in two regions, $A$ and $B$. Neither region had more than 8 hours of sunshine per day.

Question ImageQuestion Image

After studying the histograms, two students make the following statements.

- Bindu: There was more sunshine in region A than in region B during the first 2 weeks of August.
- Janet: In August there was less sunshine in region A than in region B.
Discuss these statements and decide whether or not you agree with each of them.In each case, explain your reasoning.
