Answer 1

The correct graph that displays the collected data is: a bar graph titled favorite topping with the x axis labeled topping and the y axis labeled number of customers, with the first bar labeled Sprinkles going to a value of 12, the second bar labeled Nuts going to a value of 17, the third bar labeled Hot Fudge going to a value of 44, and the fourth bar labeled Chocolate Chips going to a value of 27.

This is the correct representation because a bar graph is used to display categorical data, and the x-axis represents the toppings while the y-axis represents the number of customers. The bars accurately show the frequency of each topping preference.
