A battery manufacturer tests the life of a sample of batteries by putting them into electrictoys and timing them. The results she gets, in minutes, from 58 tests are shown below.726 945 863 673 876 842 645 942 621 8331042 526 735 893 621 773 531 733 635 998954 763 1073 550 725 1084 747 849 716 1032721 962 683 768 872 632 787 641 752 8001063 794 1062 613 714 867 590 749 854 9431021 681 943 842 841 730 961 982a) Complete the following frequency tableTime - Minutes Frequency Frequency density500 < x ≤ 600 4 0.04600 < x ≤ 700700 < x ≤ 750750 < x ≤ 900900 < x ≤ 1100b) Draw a histogram to show this datac) From the frequency table, estimate the percentage of batteries whose life expectancy isless than 800 minutes.
