Question

Students from a large intro stats class answer survey questions about themselves for a class dataset. They answer questions about their​ age, whether or not they get financial​ aid, their​ major, and the number of hours they work each week. We could make a histogram for which of these​ variables? Choose the correct answer below. A. Financial aid and major B. Financial aid C. Age and major D. Age and hours of work

Answer 1

D) Age and hours of work

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is very similar to a bar graph but it doesn't have any blank spaces in between the options. In this case you can place the age data into the Y axis and the range of hours of work in the X axis.

You could also try to make histograms for financial aid and majors, but since the answers were not numerical, a pie chart would be more appropriate. E.g. a pie chart divided into 2 segments, those who receive aid and those who don't. Another pie chart with the distribution of majors.

Answer 2

(D) Age and hours of work

Step-by-step explanation:

Their financial age and their major are not numerical data. A histogram is an approximate representation of the distribution of numerical or categorical data.
