Question

Which of the following is a true statement based on the histogram?

An indoor running track is 200 meters in length. During a 3,000-meter race, runners must complete 15 laps of the track. An electronic timing device records the time it takes each runner to complete a lap for every lap in the race. These are called lap times. The histogram below displays the lap times for Stefano, a runner in the 3,000-meter race.
a) There were no lap times between 35 and 36 seconds.
b) There were six laps with times less than 37 seconds
c) There were three laps with times greater than 38 seconds.
d) The interval from 37 to 38 seconds saw the most lap times

Answer 1

The true statement based on the histogram is that there were six laps with times less than 37 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the histogram, the true statement is:

b) There were six laps with times less than 37 seconds.

In the histogram, there are six bars representing lap times that are less than 37 seconds. This indicates that Stefano completed six laps within this time range.
