Final answer:

The shape and center of the histogram can provide information about the distribution of average travel times to work for workers in each state and the District of Columbia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The histogram displays the average travel times to work for workers in each state and the District of Columbia. To determine the center of the histogram, we look at the peak of the distribution, which represents the most common average travel time. The shape of the histogram can provide information about the distribution of the data.

If the histogram is symmetric and bell-shaped, it indicates that the data follows a normal distribution. If the histogram is skewed to the right, it suggests that there are more workers with shorter travel times. On the other hand, if the histogram is skewed to the left, it suggests that there are more workers with longer travel times.

Without viewing the histogram, I cannot provide a specific answer about the shape and center of the histogram. However, using the information provided, you can analyze the histogram to determine the shape and center of the
