Days Absent Number of employees
0 up to 3 60
3 up to 6 31
6 up to 9 14
9 up to 12 6
12 up to 15 2
How many employees were absent fewer than six days?

Answer 1

Answer:

91 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of employees absent fewer than six days...add the frequency of those absent for 0 to 3 days and that of 3 to 6 days

The frequency of 0 to 3 days = 60

The frequency of 3 to 6 days = 31

Thus, the numbers of employees absent fewer than 6 days is 60+31 = 91
