Answer 1

Answer : Third Option i.e., 3 snacks have about 210 mg of sugar.

Back-up Concepts

In a bar diagram, the height of the bars is read off from the vertical axis (y-axis). In this case, height represents the frequency, i.e., number of snacks.

The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents the weight of sugar in the snack. When the variable along the horizontal axis is represented in interval mode, the mid-point of the interval is taken as the representative of the interval.

Thus, we note that the interval 200 – 220 mg has a bar on it whose height is 3 and hence 3 snacks have 210 (mid-point of 200 - 210) mg of sugar.
