e) the peak of the curve represents the
longest worms / average worms

Explanation:

Step1: Identify peak length

Look for the highest point on the graph; it aligns with 6.5 cm on the x-axis.

Step2: Find maximum x-axis value

The rightmost point on the x-axis is 9.0 cm.

Step3: Count worms at 6 cm

Locate 6 cm on x-axis, the corresponding y-value is 4.

Step4: Count worms at 7.25 cm

Locate 7.25 cm on x-axis, the corresponding y-value is 4.

Step5: Interpret curve peak

The peak shows the most frequent (average/modal) worm length.

Answer:

a) 6.5 cm
b) 9.0 cm
c) 4
d) 4
