Question

The data below shows the average number of text messages a group of students send per day. what is a histogram that represents the data? 20 5 8 22 10 1 7 15 16 12 15 6 13 8

Answer 1

To draw a histogram, you need two axes. The horizontal axis is the day and the vertical axis is the number of text messages. For the first day, there are 20 text messages. This is represented by a bar starting from the horizontal axis labeled Day 1 going up to the point where the vertical axis indicates 20 text messages. This is done for the rest of the data. Afterwards, a line is drawn from the vertex of the axes connected to the top of the first bar. Then from the top of the first bar, a line connects it to the top of the next bar. This is done for all the bars before producing a histogram.
