We need to find the number of matches in which the batsman scored less than 60 runs.
Step 1: Identify the relevant class intervals
The batsman scored less than 60 runs in the following class intervals:
- 0–15 (Frequency = 5)
- 15–30 (Frequency = 7)
- 30–45 (Frequency = 4)
- 45–60 (Frequency = 8)
Step 2: Sum the frequencies
Total number of matches where runs scored < 60:
= 5 + 7 + 4 + 8
= 24 matches
Final Answer:
The number of matches in which the batsman scored less than 60 runs is 24.
