Question

analyzing histograms
number of texts
which statements are true given the histogram? check all that apply.
the histogram is symmetrical.
the histogram is evenly distributed.
the cluster from 4 p.m.–10 p.m. means that most of the texts were sent in the afternoon and evening.
more texts were sent from 6 p.m.–8 p.m. than from 8 p.m.–10 p.m.
the peak from 4 p.m.–6 p.m. means that the highest number of texts was sent during this interval.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze symmetry

The histogram is not symmetric as the left - hand side and right - hand side do not mirror each other.

Step2: Analyze even distribution

The bars have different heights, so it is not evenly distributed.

Step3: Analyze cluster from 4 p.m. - 10 p.m.

The cluster from 4 p.m. - 10 p.m. has higher bar heights, indicating that most texts were sent in the afternoon and evening.

Step4: Compare 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. and 8 p.m. - 10 p.m.

The bar for 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. is higher than the bar for 8 p.m. - 10 p.m., so more texts were sent from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Step5: Analyze peak from 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.

The highest bar is in the 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. interval, so the highest number of texts was sent during this interval.

Answer:

• The cluster from 4 p.m. - 10 p.m. means that most of the texts were sent in the afternoon and evening.
• More texts were sent from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. than from 8 p.m. - 10 p.m.
• The peak from 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. means that the highest number of texts was sent during this interval.
