Students of a school are standing in a straight line for the assembly and the drill. In this process, the teacher asked the students of the class to create an algebraic expression for the expressions of the students. The first student is asked to multiply the expression $x$ by some algebraic number to get the second expression. The second expression is multiplied by some algebraic number to get the third expression. In this way, algebraic numbers are multiplied to get the final expression.

Vocational training complements traditional education by providing practical skills and hands-on experience. While education equips individuals with a broad knowledge base, vocational training focuses on job-specific skills, enhancing employability thus making the student self-reliant. Keeping this in view, a teacher made the following table giving the frequency distribution of students/adults undergoing vocational training: Age (in years): 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54 Participants: 62, 132, 96, 37, 13, 11, 10, 4
