Explanation:

Step1: Count data in intervals

Count the number of data - points in each interval for the given data set {8, 15, 128, 28, 32, 44, 14, 158, 8, 51, 17, 132, 30, 17, 12, 24, 35, 28, 86, 30, 8, 125, 0, 95, 8, 74, 16, 0, 8, 50}.

• For the interval 0 - 39: There are 22 values (8, 15, 28, 32, 14, 8, 17, 30, 17, 12, 24, 35, 28, 30, 8, 8, 16, 0, 8, 8, 0, 8).
• For the interval 40 - 79: There are 4 values (44, 51, 74, 50).
• For the interval 80 - 119: There is 1 value (86).
• For the interval 120 - 159: There are 3 values (128, 132, 125, 158).

Step2: Analyze histograms

Check each histogram to see which one has the correct frequencies for each interval.

• Histogram A has the correct frequencies for the intervals 0 - 39, 40 - 79, 80 - 119, 120 - 159 as 22, 4, 1, 3 respectively.
