Answer 2

$\\ \text{Given the frequency table for the heights of the 6th graders in a class at}\\ \text{Oakville Elementary School.}\\ \\ \text{From the frequency table, we can see that the total number of students}\\ \text{in the class are}=5+2+0+3+6+5+4+2+0+1=28\\ \\ \text{And out of these 28, the number of 6th graders whose height is 52 inches}\\ \text{are 6}.\\ \\ \text{hence the probability that a sixth grader in this class is 52 inches tall }=\frac{6}{28}\\ \\ =\frac{3}{14}$

Hence the probability that a sixth grader in this class is 52 inches is: 3/14
