Answer:

A Histogram will be used to represent the size of right wrist of the random sample of newborn infants.

Explanation:

A histogram is the graphical representation of the frequency distribution in the given sample. As the value of circumference can be a positive real number, therefore a Histogram with class boundaries can be formed such that the overall frequency of a wrist size is also visible in the graph.

Also as the distribution will be of continuous nature thus a histogram is a more suitable option as compared to a bar or stem and leaf graph.
