Question

a histogram displays the distribution of weekly incomes for a group of workers. the most frequent income range is between $500 and $600. which measure of central tendency does this information represent? mean median cannot be determined without a histogram. mode

Explanation:

Step1: Recall measures of central tendency

• Mean: Average of all data points (requires individual values or sum and count).
• Median: Middle value (requires ordered data or position, not just frequency of a range).
• Mode: Most frequently occurring value (or range, in a histogram’s case—since the histogram shows the most frequent income range, this represents the mode, as mode is about the most common category/value).

Answer:

mode
