The histogram is especially useful in comparing mean and median values of a variable. We have that 5.5+6+7+10+7.5+8+9.5+9+8.5+8+7+7.5+6+6.5+5.5=111.5 Since there are 15 values, their mean is 111.5/15=7.43 which is very close to the mean. We also have that 7 onservations are lower than 7.4 while 8 are bigger than 7.4; hence, the diagram is rather balanced and not left-skewed. We cannot tell immediately which one is larger since the values are too close. Any such random process can usually be approximated to a greater or smaller degree by a normal curve; the more points, the better. The histogram shows this (it is kind of a discrete normal curve); all points except 4 will be in this interval of bars.

A) If you only sample people in a sports supply store, your sample will be biased. People in a sports supply store are more likely to be people that belong to a gym.
B) While it does not have necessarily the same amount of bias as sampling people in the sports supply store, people that go to a park are generally more likely to be people that exercise or have a gym membership.
C) Taking a random sample of people in town is a good way to get a non-biased sample. They are not necessarily predisposed to answer your question one way or another.
D) For the same reason as choice A, this is a biased sample.
C is the best choice.
