Correct Answer

D

Explanation

Ef = 20 + x +50 +40 +2x +60therefore 260 = 170 +3x = 3x = 260 - 170 = 90x = 90 / 3 = 30Number of student absent for at least four days in the term= 40 +60 +2x = 100 +2x= 100 +2 (30) = 100 +60 = 16To determine the number of students who were absent for at least four days in the term, we need to sum up the frequencies of all the categories in the distribution.However, since the distribution is not provided, I am unable to provide an exact answer. Please provide the distribution or the frequencies for each category (e.g., 4-6 days, 7-9 days, etc.) so that I can assist you further in calculating the total number of students who were absent for at least four days in the term.
