Question

a histogram for the population of the 50 states in the united states in 1975 is pictured below. choose the best description of the vertical axis for the histogram. the mean number of states for each bin. the mean state population for each bin. the number of states in each population interval the state population.

Explanation:

A histogram for state populations groups states into population intervals (bins). The vertical axis (y - axis) of a histogram typically represents the frequency of data points in each bin. Here, the frequency is the number of states in each population interval. The mean number of states or mean population per bin is not what a histogram's y - axis shows, and the state population itself is on the horizontal axis (x - axis, as the bins are population intervals).

Answer:

C. The number of states in each population interval
