Given:

The histogram of a survey that represents the amount of electricity used by residents in a local community.

To find:

The approximate number of participants in the survey.

Solution:

Using the given histogram, we get the frequency table:

Electricity usage              Frequency

          50                                 23

         150                                 34

        250                                 25

        350                                 26

        450                                 42

Sum of frequencies is:

[tex]23+34+25+26+42=150[/tex]

It means the total number of participants in the survey is 150.

Therefore, the correct option is (a).
