Question

The students in a statistics class record how many movies they have watched in the previous month. The data are listed below. 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6 Which of the histograms below correctly represents this data

Answer 1

The correct histogram is labeled "2" as it accurately represents the data, showing that the most common number of movies watched is 2, with fewer students watching 0, 1, 5, or 6 movies.

The correct histogram is the one labeled "2". The other histograms do not accurately represent the data. For example, the histogram labeled "1" shows that there are more students who watched 6 movies than any other number of movies, but this is not the case in the data set. Similarly, the histogram labeled "3" shows that there are more students who watched 5 movies than any other number of movies, but this is also not the case in the data set.

The histogram labeled "2" correctly shows that the most common number of movies watched is 2, and that there are a relatively small number of students who watched 0, 1, 5, or 6 movies.
