The attachment presents the table properly

Solving (a): Percentage of those who play for less than 50 hours weekly

To do this, we simply consider the frequency of students that fall within:

1.0 - 7.9, 8.0 - 14.9,......,43.0 - 49.9

Their frequency is:

The percentage is then calculated as:

Solving (b): Percentage of those who play for 43 or more hours weekly

To do this, we simply consider the frequency of students that fall within:

43.0 - 49.9,......,64.0 - 70.9

Their frequency is:

The percentage is then calculated as:

Using the percentage concept, it is found that:

a) 88% of the students play video games for less than 50 hr per week.

b) 21.5% of the students play video games for 43 or more hours per week.

Item a:

88% of the students play video games for less than 50 hr per week.

Item b:

10 + 7 + 5 + 12 = 34 play for 43 or more hours, hence:

21.5% of the students play video games for 43 or more hours per week.
