Question

the population of ages at inauguration of all u.s. presidents who had professions in the military is 62, 46, 68, 64, 57. why does it not make sense to construct a histogram for this data set? choose the correct answer below. a. adequate class boundaries for a histogram cannot be found with this data set. b. there must be an even number of data values in the data set to create a histogram. c. with a data set that is so small, the true nature of the distribution cannot be seen with a histogram. d. this data set would yield a histogram that is not bell - shaped.

Explanation:

Histograms are best used for larger data - sets to show the distribution. With only 5 data points, the true distribution cannot be discerned. Class boundaries can be found for any data - set, the number of data values doesn't have to be even, and the shape of the distribution (like being bell - shaped) is not a requirement for creating a histogram.

Answer:

C. With a data set that is so small, the true nature of the distribution cannot be seen with a histogram.
