Question

The graph demonstrates the quantitative variation for skin pigmentation.

A bar graph has skin pigmentation color on the horizontal axis and Proportion of population on the vertical axis. From lightest to darkest skin colors, the proportions are: 1/64, 6/64, 15/64, 20/64, 15/64, 6/64, 1/64.

Which conclusion is supported by the graph?
More than half of the population has the central skin pigmentation.
The lightest and the darkest skin pigmentations are equally common in the population.
The central skin pigmentation makes up more of the population than the rest of the skin pigmentation groups combined.
Fewer people have skin pigmentation lighter than the central peak than people who have pigmentation darker than the central peak.

Answer 1

The conclusion supported by the graph is that fewer people have skin pigmentation lighter than the central peak than people who have pigmentation darker than the central peak.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusion supported by the graph is that fewer people have skin pigmentation lighter than the central peak than people who have pigmentation darker than the central peak.

The graph shows a bar for each skin color, and the proportions gradually increase and then decrease, with the highest proportion in the middle. This indicates that the central skin pigmentation is more common in the population compared to the lighter and darker pigmentation groups. However, the graph does not indicate that the central skin pigmentation make up more of the population than the rest of the groups combined or that the lightest and darkest skin pigmentations are equally common.
