Question

The histogram shows the number of chicks born to non-migratory Canada geese in a city park, with the horizontal axis representing the number of hatchlings and the vertical axis representing the number of nests. For example, there were 15 nests with 0-3 hatchlings.

In order to monitor the geese population, the state wildlife service annually samples the number of hatchlings from 30 nests using a simulation. Which number of hatchlings would be a reasonable outcome for the simulation?

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

The answer options are 3 6 9 and 10. The most reasonable option would be to 6 because it is in between the two highest bars.

Answer 2

Answer: (6-9) Hatchlings would be a reasonable outcome for the simulation.

As the histogram shows the number of chicks born to non-migratory Canada geese in a city park, with the horizontal axis representing the number of hatchlings and the vertical axis representing the number of nests.

In order to monitor the geese population, the state wildlife service annually samples the number of hatchlings from 30 nests using a simulation= 6-9 hatchlings.

(As there is only 1 bar with (6-9)hatchlings which is meeting to the 30 nests on y axis)
