Use the table to answer the question.
Flowers for Sale | Frequency | Relative Frequency
tulip | 4 | 4/10= ?%
marigold | 5 | 5/10= ?%
carnation | 1 | 1/10= ?%
Describe the distribution of this dataset using a percent bar graph. Which graph shows the data in the table?
To create a percent bar graph for this dataset, first calculate the percentage for each type of flower:
- Tulip: 4/10 = 40%
- Marigold: 5/10 = 50%
- Carnation: 1/10 = 10%
Next, draw a bar graph with the flowers on the x-axis and the percentage on the y-axis. The bars should represent the relative frequency (in percentages) of each flower. The bar for Marigold should be the highest, followed by Tulip, and then Carnation.
The graph that corresponds to this dataset is likely to have three bars of different lengths representing the relative frequencies of tulip, marigold, and carnation. The longest bar would represent the marigold with 50%, the next longest would represent tulip with 40%, and the shortest would represent carnation with 10%.
