2

1

0

3

Answer 1

*We can to find the upper limit of the data by using the values given in the options.
If 2
the upper limit is 8 + 2*0.7 = 9.4

If 1
the upper limit is 8 + 1*0.7 = 8.7

If 0
the upper limits is 8+ 0*0.7 = 8

If 3
the upper limit is 8 + 3*0.7 = 10.1

Therefore, the answer is
3
since all the values are included
