The blood groups of 36 students of IX class are recorded as follows.

A O A O A B O A B A B O


B O B O O A B O B AB O A


O O O A AB O A B O A O B


Represent the data in the form of a frequency distribution table. Which is the most common and which is the rarest blood group among these students?


Given the blood groups of 36 students can be represented in the form of frequency distribution table.

Just count the occurrence of blood groups in the data and formulate a table.


Count of blood group:


A = 10


B = 9


O = 15


AB = 2


Blood Group



No. of students


(frequency)



A



10



B



9



O



15



AB



2



Representing the same on a graph to show the relationship between blood group and number of students (frequency),



From the frequency table as well as from the graph, notice that:


Most common blood group = O [As O has the greatest no. of occurrence, i.e., frequency = 15]


Rarest blood group = AB [As AB has the least no. of occurrence, i.e., frequency = 2]
