1. which display can be used to find how many vehicles had driven more than 200,000 km (kilometers)?

choose 1 answer:
the histogram
the box plot

Explanation:

A histogram groups data into intervals (bins) and shows the frequency (number of data points) in each bin. To find how many vehicles drove more than 200,000 km, we need to know the frequency of data in the interval corresponding to distances > 200 (in thousands of km). A box - plot shows summary statistics like median, quartiles, and outliers, but not the frequency of data in specific intervals. So a histogram is the appropriate display.
