Final answer:

A WBC histogram with two kinds of immature neutrophils would show a peak at the left end for the immature neutrophils and another peak at the right end for the mature neutrophils.

Step-by-step explanation:

A WBC histogram with two kinds of immature neutrophils would show a peak at the left end of the histogram for the immature neutrophils, and another peak at the right end for the mature neutrophils. The immature neutrophils, also known as bands, have a nucleus that appears as a single 'band' rather than being lobed like the nucleus of mature neutrophils. This distinct appearance allows for their differentiation in a WBC histogram.

For example, if the histogram has the x-axis representing different cell types and the y-axis representing the frequency or count of each cell type, it would show a higher count at the left end for the immature neutrophils and a higher count at the right end for the mature neutrophils.
