Solution

  1. In the histogram, we see that the class width is 5.
  2. By the histogram, it is clear that two teachers have the maximum teaching experience, i.e. 15 – 20 years, and five teachers have the least teaching experience, i.e. 0 – 5 years.
  3. The number of teachers having experience from 10 to 20 years is 7 + 2, i.e. 9.
