Red and Orange Stripes- 7
Yellow- 3

Answer 1

the correct answer would be false

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to the given statement is : FALSE.

No, this frequency table can't be graphically displayed on histogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is used to display a continuous set of data and not discrete.

In histogram, each bar of it groups numbers into ranges.

i.e. the independent variable is the interval that is taken and the dependent variable are the number of values that lie in that interval.

Here we are given a discrete set of data and it's corresponding frequency.

         color pattern          frequency

          Blue on Gray                4

            Green                         6

    Pink Polka Dots                 12

            Purple                          8

   Red and Orange Stripes      7

           Yellow                           3

The best way to represent this data is a dot or a line plot.
