Question

which region has the greatest number of hazardous waste sites? estimate the number.
a. the ne central has the greatest number of hazardous waste sites at about 280 hazardous sites.
b. the ne central has the greatest number of hazardous waste sites at about 220 hazardous sites.
c. the mid-atlantic has the greatest number of hazardous waste sites at about 200 hazardous sites.
d. the mid-atlantic has the greatest number of hazardous waste sites at about 280 hazardous sites.
(chart: bar graph with regions (new england, mid-atlantic, ne central, nw, s central atlantic, se central, sw central, mountain, pacific) on x - axis and
umber of hazardous sites\ on y - axis, with mid - atlantic bar reaching ~280, ne central ~220, etc.)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the region with the greatest number of hazardous waste sites, we analyze the bar graph. The Mid - Atlantic (Mid - Atl) bar is the tallest. Looking at the y - axis (number of hazardous sites), the height of the Mid - Atlantic bar is around 280. Now let's check the options:

  • Option a: Says NE Central has the greatest, but NE Central's bar is shorter than Mid - Atlantic's, so a is wrong.
  • Option b: Also claims NE Central has the greatest, which is incorrect as Mid - Atlantic's bar is taller. And the number estimate (220) is wrong for NE Central and also not matching the tallest bar.
  • Option c: Incorrect number estimate (200) for Mid - Atlantic.
  • Option d (assuming the last option is about Mid - Atlantic with ~280): The Mid - Atlantic region has the tallest bar in the graph, and its height is approximately 280 hazardous waste sites. So the correct option should be the one that states the Mid - Atlantic has the greatest number at about 280 (assuming option d is worded that way, but from the visible text, likely the intended correct option is the one with Mid - Atlantic and ~280).

Answer:

d. The Mid - Atlantic has the greatest number of hazardous waste sites at about 280 hazardous sites. (Assuming the full option d is as such, based on the graph analysis where Mid - Atlantic bar is tallest at ~280)
