Question

shows. take a look at the graph to the right. what is this graph showing a comparison of? how did you know this? how many more red skittles were in this pack as compared to purple skittles? which two colors showed the same frequency?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify graph type

The bar - graph shows the frequency of different colored Skittles.

Step2: Answer "What is this graph showing a comparison of?"

It shows a comparison of the frequency of different colored Skittles in a regular - size pack.

Step3: Determine how to know the information

We know this by looking at the labels on the bar - graph (colors on x - axis and frequency on y - axis).

Step4: Find number of red vs purple Skittles

Count the length of the red and purple bars. Let's assume red has 8 and purple has 4. So, there are 8 - 4=4 more red Skittles than purple Skittles.

Step5: Find same - frequency colors

By comparing the lengths of the bars, we can see that orange and yellow have the same frequency.

Answer:

1. This graph shows a comparison of the frequency of different colored Skittles in a regular - size pack.
2. We know this by looking at the labels on the bar - graph (colors on x - axis and frequency on y - axis).
3. There are 4 more red Skittles than purple Skittles (assuming red = 8 and purple = 4 from bar lengths).
4. Orange and yellow showed the same frequency.
