Explanation

(a) (i) Mode = 2

(ii) Third quartile : Sum of frequency = 24

\(Q_{3} = \frac{3}{4} \times 24 = 18\)

The 18th position falls at 3.

(iii) P(at least 2 children) = \(\frac{7 + 4 + 3 + 2}{24}\)

= \(\frac{16}{24}\)

= \(\frac{2}{3}\)

(b) The sector for 1 child = \(\frac{5}{24} \times 360\)

= \(75°\).
