Question

3,5,2,1,4,1,2. create a histogram that correctly displays the data. (hint: the bin between 2 and 4 grams of fiber includes all numbers greater than or equal to 2 but less than 4.)

Explanation:

Step1: Define bins

Let's assume bins: 0 - 1, 1 - 2, 2 - 4, 4 - 6, 6 - 8.

Step2: Count data in bins

For the bin 0 - 1: There are 2 values (1, 1).
For the bin 1 - 2: There are 2 values (2, 2).
For the bin 2 - 4: There are 2 values (3, 4).
There are no values in the bins 4 - 6 and 6 - 8.

Step3: Plot histogram

On the x - axis, label the bins (0 - 1, 1 - 2, 2 - 4, 4 - 6, 6 - 8). On the y - axis, label the frequency. Draw bars with heights corresponding to the frequency in each bin. The bar for 0 - 1 has height 2, for 1 - 2 has height 2, for 2 - 4 has height 2, and for 4 - 6 and 6 - 8 has height 0.

Answer:

A correctly plotted histogram with appropriate bin - frequency pairs as described above.
