a) 8
b) 10
c) 12
d) 14

Answer 1

By adding the frequencies of ages greater than 26 (which are 27 and 29), we find that there are 8 people in the sample who are over the age of 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many people in the sample are over the age of 26, we look at the frequency for each age listed that is greater than 26:

• Age 27: 4 people
• Age 28: 0 people
• Age 29: 4 people
• Age 10: 5 people (Assuming this is a typo since the age does not fit into the sequence)
• Age 2: 8 people (Assuming this is a typo since the age does not fit into the sequence)

Add the frequencies of the ages that are greater than 26 to get the total number of people over 26:

4 (Age 27) + 4 (Age 29) = 8 people

Therefore, the answer is 8 people who are over the age of 26.
