Problem 5
In a histogram of lengths measured in millimeters, the height of the 20-40 bar is 1 percent per millimeter. If I measure all the lengths in centimeters instead, then the corresponding bar would be labeled 2-4.
: 5.0 points
The height of this bar would be:
1 percent per centimeter10 percent per centimeter0.1 percent per centimeter
10 percent per centimeter

To find the height of the corresponding bar in the histogram when the lengths are measured in centimeters, we can convert the given information.
Given information:
- Height of the bar in the histogram when lengths are measured in millimeters: 1 percent per millimeter
- Corresponding label when lengths are measured in centimeters: 2-4
To convert the height, we need to consider the conversion from millimeters to centimeters. Since there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter, we can simply divide the original height (1 percent per millimeter) by 10 to get the height in percent per centimeter.
Calculating the height of the bar in percent per centimeter:
1 percent per millimeter / 10 = 0.1 percent per centimeter
Therefore, the height of the corresponding bar in the histogram when the lengths are measured in centimeters is 0.1 percent per centimeter.
