Question

Alex records the running time—the number of minutes a movie lasts from start to finish—of 50 popular movies. The distribution of times, in minutes, is displayed in the histogram below.

Answer 1

There are two problems like this, one involving median and the shape.

Here are your answers for both.

Shape is skewed right, this is because it decreases towards the right, like a hill. (C)

Extra info/this part isnt right: It would be skewed left but it isn't because it is not decreasing towards the left like a hill.

The median is between the interval 90-100, because it looks to be the typical number. (A)

Answer 2

You forgot to attach the question and the histogram.

Is your question “the interval containing the most movies” ? If yes, then the answer is :

Interval 90-100 minutes

Explanation:

A histogram is a chart that is used to represent data in form of bars.

Like every other chart, it consists of both the x and y axis. The y axis contains the frequency or percentage of occurrences while the x axis contains the range or intervals.

To determine the interval with the most occurrences, that is the interval containing most movies, we look for the bar with the most height. The bar that is tallest amongst others has the most movies in its running time.

From the attached histogram, the interval containing the most movies is the 90- 100 minutes interval.

This simply means that from Alex’s record, out of the 50 popular movies, more movies run with the 90-100 minutes interval.
