Question

heights, reported in centimeters, of students in one class were obtained for a study. the last digits of those heights are listed. construct a histogram with 10 classes. what can you conclude from the distribution of the digits? 000000000112333455555555555555555668889 (1 point) the digits of 0 and 5 occur disproportionately more often than the others; the heights could have been reported, not measured. the choice of 10 classes was a poor choice; nothing can be concluded from this histogram. this is a small sample; a histogram is not an appropriate way to display the data. the histogram shows a normal distribution and can be used to predict heights of other classes.

Explanation:

By observing the given last - digit data of heights, we can see that the digits 0 and 5 occur much more frequently than the other digits. In a situation where data is accurately measured, we would expect a more even distribution of the last digits. This over - representation of 0 and 5 suggests that the heights might have been reported (e.g., rounded) rather than precisely measured.

Answer:

The digits of 0 and 5 occur disproportionately more often than the others; the heights could have been reported, not measured.
