Can you help with the histogram please
Number of orders on left vertically 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Number of cookies at bottom horizontally
10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59
Distribution of number of cookies best described as blank, so, standard deviation blank
appropriate measure of variation
To create the histogram, you will need the data on the number of cookies ordered for each order. Once you have that data, you can create the histogram as follows:
1. Draw a vertical axis on the left with the number of orders (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
2. Draw a horizontal axis at the bottom with the number of cookies ordered (10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59).
3. Create bars representing the distribution of the number of cookies ordered for each order. For example, if there were 3 orders with 15 cookies each, there would be a bar at the 15 mark, reaching up to the 3 mark on the vertical axis.
4. Once you have completed all the bars, you will have a histogram showing the distribution of the number of cookies ordered.
To describe the distribution of the number of cookies best, you would need to analyze the shape of the histogram. For example, if it is skewed to the right, you would describe it as a positively skewed distribution.
The standard deviation measures how spread out the data points are from the mean. It is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. To calculate the standard deviation, you would need the actual data on the number of cookies ordered for each order.
Can you tell me if it's symmetric or not based on the numbers i gave you?
Based on the information provided, it is difficult to determine if the distribution of the number of cookies ordered is symmetric or not without the actual data.
To determine if a distribution is symmetric, you would typically look at a histogram or a statistical measure such as skewness. If the histogram is roughly bell-shaped and symmetric around a central value, it is likely symmetric. Skewness measures the asymmetry of the distribution: a skewness of 0 indicates a symmetric distribution, positive skewness indicates a right-skewed distribution, and negative skewness indicates a left-skewed distribution.
If you provide the data on the number of cookies ordered for each order, I can help you determine if the distribution is symmetric or not.
