Question

1. in 2025, a report was published about the number of bald eagle nests in each of the 88 counties in ohio. this data is summarized in the graphical display below. notice two counties have values that are at least 60 or higher. these values fall outside the overall pattern of the graph. we refer to such values as being outliers. 9. return to the graphical display presented in question 8. which one of the following interpretations of this display is correct? a. the distribution of number of bald eagle nests is skewed to the left given that most counties have less than 20 total nests. b. no counties in ohio have exactly 0 bald eagle nests. c. no counties in ohio have exactly 120 bald eagle nests. d. because there are spaces between some of the bars in this graph, we call this type of graph a bar chart. e. none of the above statements are correct.

Explanation:

• Option A: The distribution is skewed to the right as there are larger - valued outliers on the right side, not skewed left.
• Option B: The bar at 0 could have a non - zero frequency, we just don't know the exact count from the graph.
• Option C: The bar at 120 could have a non - zero frequency, we just don't know the exact count from the graph.
• Option D: This is a histogram (not a bar chart) as it represents a distribution of a continuous variable (number of nests) and the bars touch for adjacent intervals in a histogram when there are no gaps in the data values within the intervals.

Answer:

E. None of the above statements are correct.
