  • D23\displaystyle 23

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The given table represents a 'more than' cumulative frequency distribution: - The number of observations with values greater than 150\displaystyle 150 is 63\displaystyle 63. - The number of observations with values greater than 200\displaystyle 200 is 28\displaystyle 28. To find the number of observations that fall specifically in the interval between 150\displaystyle 150 and 200\displaystyle 200 (i.e., greater than 150\displaystyle 150 but less than or equal to 200\displaystyle 200), we subtract the cumulative frequency of the higher value from the cumulative frequency of the lower value: Number of observations (150<x≤200)=Frequency(>150)−Frequency(>200)\text{Number of observations } (150 < x \le 200) = \text{Frequency}(> 150) - \text{Frequency}(> 200) Number of observations (150<x≤200)=63−28=35\text{Number of observations } (150 < x \le 200) = 63 - 28 = 35 Thus, there are 35\displaystyle 35 observations between 150\displaystyle 150 and 200\displaystyle 200. This corresponds to Option B. Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
