Answer: 12.5%

Explanation:

Given: A set of data representing the heights of 16 students, in centimeters, is shown in the histogram below.

Therefore, the total frequency of students = 16

From the histogram, the frequency of students having height between 160 and 169 cm=2

The percent of students are between the heights of 160 and 169 centimeters is given by :-


P=\frac{\text{Frequency of students having height between 160 and 169 cm}}{\text{Total frequency}}*100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=(2)/(16)*100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=12.5\%

Hence, the percent of students are between the heights of 160 and 169 centimeters = 12.5%
