Question

for each month of the year, taylor collected the average high temperatures in jackson, mississippi. he used the data to create the histogram shown. average high temperatures in jackson, mississippi. temperatures of f. which set of data did he use to create the histogram? a 55, 60, 63, 64, 65, 71, 83, 87, 88, 88, 89, 93 b 55, 57, 60, 60, 65, 70, 71, 78, 79, 85, 86, 88, 91 c 55, 60, 64, 72, 73, 75, 77, 81, 83, 91, 91, 92 d 55, 58, 60, 66, 68, 75, 77, 82, 86, 89, 91, 91

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze histogram intervals

The histogram has intervals: 55 - 62, 63 - 70, 71 - 78, 79 - 86, 87 - 94.

Step2: Check data in each option against intervals

Count the number of data - points in each interval for each option.
For option A:

• In 55 - 62: 3 (55, 60, 60)
• In 63 - 70: 4 (63, 64, 65, 65)
• In 71 - 78: 1 (71)
• In 79 - 86: 3 (83, 87, 88)
• In 87 - 94: 3 (88, 89, 93)

This matches the heights of the bars in the histogram.
For option B:

• In 55 - 62: 2 (55, 57)
• In 63 - 70: 3 (60, 60, 65)
• In 71 - 78: 4 (70, 71, 78, 79)
• In 79 - 86: 3 (85, 86, 88)
• In 87 - 94: 2 (91, 91)

This does not match.
For option C:

• In 55 - 62: 2 (55, 60)
• In 63 - 70: 3 (64, 64, 72)
• In 71 - 78: 3 (73, 75, 77)
• In 79 - 86: 3 (81, 83, 91)
• In 87 - 94: 3 (91, 91, 92)

This does not match.
For option D:

• In 55 - 62: 3 (55, 58, 60)
• In 63 - 70: 2 (66, 68)
• In 71 - 78: 3 (75, 77, 82)
• In 79 - 86: 3 (86, 89, 91)
• In 87 - 94: 1 (91)

This does not match.

Answer:

A. 55, 60, 60, 63, 64, 65, 65, 71, 83, 87, 88, 88, 89, 93
