Question

7 about how many of the major 68 u.s. cities have a commute time of 25-29 minutes? bar graph titled average travel time to work 68 major u.s. cities with x - axis minutes (categories: 15 - 19, 20 - 24, 25 - 29, 30 - 34, 35 - 39) and y - axis absolute frequency (scale: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40). source: u.s. census bureau, american community survey—average travel time to work of workers 16 years and over who did not work at home (minutes). options: 20, 14, 15, 16. skip 6/10 complete

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the bar graph

The bar graph for "25 - 29 minutes" has a height that we can estimate. Looking at the y - axis (Absolute Frequency) which has markings like 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40. The bar for 25 - 29 minutes seems to be around the value of 14 - 15? Wait, no, let's check the options. Wait, the bar for 25 - 29: let's see the other bars. The 15 - 19 bar is around 10 - 15? Wait, no, the 20 - 24 bar is the tallest, around 35? Wait, no, the y - axis is Absolute Frequency. Wait, the bar for 25 - 29: looking at the options, the options are 20,14,15,16. Let's estimate the height of the bar for 25 - 29. The bar for 25 - 29 is between 10 and 20, and closer to 14 - 15? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the question is about the number of cities with commute time 25 - 29 minutes. From the bar graph, the bar for 25 - 29 minutes: let's see the y - axis labels. The y - axis has 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40. The bar for 25 - 29 is at the level of 14 - 15? Wait, the options include 14. Let's check again. The bar for 25 - 29: if we look at the graph, the bar for 25 - 29 is approximately at 14 (or maybe 15, but the option 14 is there). Wait, maybe the bar for 25 - 29 is around 14. Let's confirm. The other bars: 15 - 19 is around 10 - 15, 20 - 24 is the tallest (around 35), 25 - 29 is around 14, 30 - 34 is around 5, 35 - 39 is around 1. So the number of cities with commute time 25 - 29 minutes is approximately 14.

Answer:

14
