The data below shows how many ounces of water Carly drank over a three-month period. Which of the following histograms accurately represents this data?
Water in ounces 0-16 17-33 34-50 51-67 68+
Number of days 3 21 32 30 5
Unfortunately, as an AI language model, I cannot display images or graphics. Please provide the histograms as options and I will try my best to describe which one accurately represents the data.
How
I can describe the characteristics of a histogram that represents the given data, but if you could provide the options, it will be easier for me to compare and determine the accurate one.
In general, the histogram that represents the given data will have five bars, with each bar corresponding to a specific range of water intake in ounces. The x-axis will show the ranges of water intake, while the y-axis will show the number of days that Carly drank water in that range. The height of each bar will represent the frequency of the corresponding range.
Based on the data provided, the histogram that represents the given data should have a larger bar for the range of 34-50 ounces, followed by the range of 17-33 ounces. Bars for the ranges of 0-16 and 68+ ounces will be smaller, while the bar for the range of 51-67 ounces will be moderate in size.
Can you say that in a more simple way
Certainly! The histogram that represents Carly's water intake data should have five bars, with the leftmost bar representing 0-16 ounces of water, the next one representing 17-33 ounces, and so on. The height of each bar will show how many days Carly drank water in that particular range. The tallest bar should be for the range of 34-50 ounces, followed by the bar for the range of 17-33 ounces. The bar for the range of 51-67 ounces should be somewhere in between. The bars for the ranges of 0-16 and 68+ ounces should be shorter since Carly drank water in those ranges few times.
To determine which histogram accurately represents the given data, we need to create a histogram that visually represents the frequency of the different range categories.
First, we need to determine the range of each category. The given data provides the following categories:
0-16 ounces: 3 days
17-33 ounces: 21 days
34-50 ounces: 32 days
51-67 ounces: 30 days
68+ ounces: 5 days
Now, we can create the histogram. The horizontal axis represents the different range categories, while the vertical axis represents the frequency (number of days). Each bar in the histogram represents the frequency of its respective range category.
Based on the data provided, the histogram representing the water consumption would resemble the following:
|
| | |
| | |
| | |
-------------------
0-16 17-33 34-50 51-67 68+
In this histogram, the tallest bar represents the range category with the highest frequency. Since there were 32 days in which Carly drank between 34-50 ounces, the 34-50 category would have the tallest bar.
Therefore, the histogram that accurately represents the given data should have the tallest bar representing the 34-50 ounce category.
