A recent poll of 3,062 individuals asked: “What’s the longest vacation you plan to take this summer?” The following relative frequency distribution summarizes the results.
Response Relative Frequency
A few days 0.23
A few long weekends 0.21
One week 0.31
Two weeks 0.25
a. Construct the frequency distribution of these data. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
b. Select a bar chart for this data.

a. To construct the frequency distribution, multiply the relative frequencies by the total number of individuals surveyed (3,062) and round them to the nearest whole number:
Response Frequency
A few days 706
A few long weekends 644
One week 950
Two weeks 768
b. Bar Chart A is the correct choice.
a. To construct the frequency distribution, we need to multiply the relative frequencies by the total number of individuals surveyed (3,062) to get the frequencies for each response.
Response Relative Frequency Frequency (approx.)
A few days 0.23 706
A few long weekends 0.21 643
One week 0.31 950
Two weeks 0.25 765
b. For the bar chart, we need to choose the appropriate bar chart that best represents the data. From the given options, the correct selection is:
Bar Chart A
