b 0.5
c 2.5
d 2.5
e 1.5
f 2.5
g 0.5
h 1.5
I 1.5
j 2.5
k 2.5
l 2.5
m 1.5
n 1.5
o 1.5

which histogram best represents the data?

Answer 1

Option B is the correct answer. {number of poeple spending between 0 to 1 hours listening to music is 3}

Answer 2

Histogram B best represents the data.

Explanation:

student: Hours:

a 0.6

b 0.5

c 2.5

d 2.5

e 1.5

f 2.5

g 0.5

h 1.5

I 1.5

j 2.5

k 2.5

l 2.5

m 1.5

n 1.5

o 1.5

Since clearly from the table we could see that none of the student spend more than 3 hours in listening music each day.

Hence, the graph in option A and option D are incorrect.

Now we arrange our data in the interval of 1 unit to get:

Interval Number of students

0-1 3

1-2 6

2-3 6

Hence, the histogram that represents this data is:

Histogram B
