A) Count and write the number of votes for each of the towns. b) Draw a histogram showing the pooling stations and the number of votes.

Tally marks: HHH HHH HHH HHH IIII
Number of HHH groups: 4
Number of $I$ marks: 4
Total votes for A = $(4 \times 5) + (4 \times 1) = 20 + 4 = 24$.
Town A: $\boxed{24 \text{ votes}}$

Tally marks: HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH I
Number of HHH groups: 6
Number of $I$ marks: 1
Total votes for B = $(6 \times 5) + (1 \times 1) = 30 + 1 = 31$.
Town B: $\boxed{31 \text{ votes}}$

Tally marks: HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH
Number of HHH groups: 5
Number of $I$ marks: 0
Total votes for C = $(5 \times 5) + (0 \times 1) = 25 + 0 = 25$.
Town C: $\boxed{25 \text{ votes}}$

Tally marks: HHH HHH HHH IIII
Number of HHH groups: 3
Number of $I$ marks: 4
Total votes for D = $(3 \times 5) + (4 \times 1) = 15 + 4 = 19$.
Town D: $\boxed{19 \text{ votes}}$

Tally marks: HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH IIII
Number of HHH groups: 5
Number of $I$ marks: 4
Total votes for E = $(5 \times 5) + (4 \times 1) = 25 + 4 = 29$.
Town E: $\boxed{29 \text{ votes}}$

4. b) Draw a histogram showing the pooling stations and the number of votes
To draw a histogram:

• Draw two axes. The horizontal axis (x-axis) will represent the Pooling Stations (Towns A, B, C, D, E). The vertical axis (y-axis) will represent the Number of Votes.
• Label the x-axis with the town names (A, B, C, D, E) at the center of each bar.
• Choose an appropriate scale for the y-axis, starting from 0. Since the highest number of votes is 31, a scale where each unit represents 2 or 5 votes would be suitable (e.g., 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35).
• For each town, draw a rectangular bar whose height corresponds to the number of votes counted in part a). The bars should be of equal width and typically touch each other in a histogram if the x-axis represents continuous data, but for categorical data like towns, they can be separated.

Here are the data points for your histogram:

• Town A: 24 votes
• Town B: 31 votes
• Town C: 25 votes
• Town D: 19 votes
• Town E: 29 votes
