Answer:

33 teams

Explanation:

Let's look at this table and try to understand it, so we can get our answer.

On the left side of the table under "Time", we see 4 categories.

* more than 0 minutes and less than 15 minutes

* more than 15 minutes and less than 30 minutes

* more than 30 minutes and less than 45 minutes

* more than 45 minutes and less than 60 minutes

On the right side of the table under "Frequency", we see 4 different numbers. Remember, "Frequency" just means HOW MANY of something. In this case, "Frequency" is talking about HOW MANY teams.

The question is asking, "How many teams took less than 30 minutes?"

So, we need to look on the left side of the table again and see how many categories show where T (time) is less than 30.

The first 2 categories show that!

0 < t < 15 AND 15 < t < 30

This means we need to add the frequency of these two categories to answer the overall question.

7 + 26 = 33

Final Answer: 33 teams

Without the actual times, we can't give a numerical answer, but to find out how many teams completed the game in less than 30 minutes, one would count the entries in the provided table with times under 30 minutes.

From the information provided, it appears that there is a table of times that Harry measured for the teams completing an escape room game, and we are asked to determine how many teams took less than 30 minutes to finish the game. Unfortunately, the actual times recorded by Harry are not provided. However, to answer such a question typically, one would count the number of entries in the table where the time is less than 30 minutes. If the table provides times in a range from 0 to some upper limit and we want to find the number of occurrences below a specific time (in this case, 30 minutes), we look for all entries with times < 30 minutes and count them.

For example, if the table showed 5 teams with times ranging between 20 to 29 minutes, we would say 5 teams completed the game in less than 30 minutes. Without the actual data, we cannot give a numerical answer.

If this were a real-world example, the calculation could resemble something like this:

  • Team A - 22 minutes
  • Team B - 27 minutes
  • Team C - 35 minutes
  • Team D - 29 minutes
  • Team E - 40 minutes

From this sample, 3 out of 5 teams (Teams A, B, and D) would have finished in less than 30 minutes.
