2468101212345678MarksFrequency
Marks 1–8 with frequencies 3, 6, 9, 1, 12, 7, 5, 10.
Worked solution (try it first)
  1. "At most 5" means 5 or fewer: marks 1 to 5, which is 3+6+9+1+12=313 + 6 + 9 + 1 + 12 = 31 students.
  2. Out of 53 students: 3153×100≈58.5%\frac{31}{53} \times 100 \approx 58.5\%, option B.
