Question

during a semester, a sample of college students was asked to keep track of the amount of money they were spending each week to print materials for classes. the graphical display below shows the amount of money, in dollars, that was ultimately spent per week by this sample of students. question 14 gives an incorrect interpretation of this distribution. what is wrong with the interpretation? please explain below. 14. printing costs tended to be highest at three times during the semester—at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end.

Explanation:

The graph shows weekly spending, not spending at different times in the semester. It doesn't provide information about when in the semester (beginning, middle, end) the spending occurred. It just shows the distribution of weekly printing - cost amounts.

Answer:

The interpretation is wrong because the graph represents weekly spending amounts and not spending at specific points in the semester (beginning, middle, end).
