Question

A grocery store stocks different flavors of peppermint sticks in 15 jars. The number of sticks in each jar varies from 0 to 49. Suppose you are creating a histogram to represent the situation. A. Which axis should be labeledas the num ber of jars for each flavor? B. What are possible intervals that COULD be appropriate for the histogram?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answers are:

A. The Vertical axis should be labelled as the Number of Jars for Each Flavour

B. an interval of 7 could be appropriate

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The number of jars for each flavour is the dependent variable against the flavour type, which is the independent variable, hence it is displayed on the vertical axis to show the height of the bars.

B. since the number of sticks in a jar vary from 0 to 49, dividing 49 by 7 will give 7 without a remainder, hence, an interval of 7 will be ideal for the plot, nd a total of 7 bars will be plotted. Intervals are: 0-7, 8-14, 15-21, 22-28, 29-35, 36-42, 43-49.
