Question

e. it was recommended that students drink 48 or more ounces of water. how could you use a histogram to easily display the number of students who drank the recommended amount?

Explanation:

To use a histogram to display the number of students who drank 48 or more ounces of water, we can follow these steps:

1. Data Collection: Gather the data on the amount of water each student drank. This data should be in ounces.
2. Determine the Bins: Create a bin (or interval) for the amount of water that is 48 ounces or more. For example, if the data ranges from 0 to, say, 64 ounces, we can have bins like 0 - 15, 16 - 31, 32 - 47, 48 - 63, 64+. The key here is to have a bin that includes 48 ounces and above.
3. Construct the Histogram: On the x - axis, we place the bins (the intervals of water consumption). On the y - axis, we place the frequency (the number of students). For the bin that represents 48 ounces or more, we calculate the number of students whose water consumption falls within this bin. Then we draw a bar for this bin with a height corresponding to the number of students in that bin. This way, the bar for the "48 or more ounces" bin will directly show the number of students who met the recommended amount.

Answer:

To display the number of students who drank 48 or more ounces of water using a histogram: 1. Collect data on students' water consumption (in ounces). 2. Create a bin (interval) for "48 ounces or more" (e.g., 48 - 63, 64+ depending on data range). 3. On the histogram, plot bins on the x - axis (with "48 or more" as one bin) and frequency (number of students) on the y - axis. The bar for the "48 or more" bin will show the number of students who met the recommendation.
