Question

lesson 14: frequency tables and graphs graphing frequency what information can be found on the y-axis of a histogram? a. relative frequency b. absolute frequency c. cumulative frequency d. frequency distribution check answer reset

Explanation:

A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data. The y - axis of a histogram typically represents the frequency (absolute frequency, which is the number of observations in each class interval), relative frequency (the proportion of observations in each class interval), or cumulative frequency (the sum of frequencies up to a certain class interval). Frequency distribution is a table that shows the frequency of each class, not what is plotted on the y - axis of a histogram. So, options a (Relative frequency), b (Absolute frequency), and c (Cumulative frequency) can be found on the y - axis of a histogram. But if we consider the most basic and common one, absolute frequency is a primary measure shown on the y - axis, and relative and cumulative are also valid. However, since the question is about what can be found (multiple correct), but if we have to pick the most probable single or the correct ones:

• Option a: Relative frequency can be on the y - axis (when we want to show proportions).
• Option b: Absolute frequency (count of data points in each bin) is a common y - axis measure.
• Option c: Cumulative frequency (sum of frequencies up to each bin) can also be on the y - axis.
• Option d: Frequency distribution is a table, not a y - axis measure.

So the correct options are a, b, c. But if we assume a single best (though multiple are correct), absolute frequency is very common. But the question says "what information can be found", so multiple are correct.

Answer:

a. Relative frequency, b. Absolute frequency, c. Cumulative frequency
