Question

the number of siblings each student at a softball game has is recorded. the graph below shows the probability distribution of having any number of siblings, x, for a randomly selected student. which number of siblings is least likely? probability distribution graph with bars for 0,1,2,3,4,5 siblings options: 0 siblings, 3 siblings, 4 siblings, 5 siblings

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the bar graph

The bar graph shows the probability distribution for the number of siblings. We need to identify the bar with the lowest height (probability) as that represents the least likely number of siblings.

Step2: Compare the bar heights

Looking at the graph, the bar for 4 siblings has no visible height (or the lowest height among the options), indicating the lowest probability. The bar for 5 siblings has a small height but the bar for 4 siblings is even lower (or non - existent in terms of a visible bar, implying a probability of 0 or very close to 0). So the number of siblings that is least likely is 4 siblings.

Answer:

4 siblings
