Question

select the correct answer. the data set {7, 20, 51, 6, 30, 72, 31, 84, 28, 77, 98} is to be represented by a histogram. which first interval would most clearly and simply show the distribution of this data? a. 0 - 5 b. 0 - 10 c. 0 - 50 d. 0 - 100

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze data range

The data set has values from 6 to 98.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• Option A (0 - 5) has no data in it.
• Option B (0 - 10) includes 2 values (6, 7), starting to show data distribution clearly.
• Option C (0 - 50) is too wide for a first - interval to clearly show initial distribution.
• Option D (0 - 100) is very wide and won't show details clearly at first.

Answer:

B. 0 - 10
