Math Problem Statement
Identify the histogram for the frequency distribution below:
Bin | Frequency
[2, 7) | 2
[7, 12) | 2
[12, 17) | 5
[17, 22) | 7
[22, 27) | 3
Solution
To identify the correct histogram for the frequency distribution, let's analyze the given frequency table:
- Bin [2, 7): Frequency 2
- Bin [7, 12): Frequency 2
- Bin [12, 17): Frequency 5
- Bin [17, 22): Frequency 7
- Bin [22, 27): Frequency 3
We can use these values to find the histogram that matches the bin heights based on the frequencies.
Let's analyze each of the histograms in the image:
- The first histogram has bars in the following order of heights: 4, 2, 5, 4, and 2.
- The second histogram has bar heights of 2, 2, 5, 7, and 3, matching our frequency data.
- The third and fourth histograms display different bar heights inconsistent with the frequency distribution.
Thus, the correct answer is the second histogram, as it matches the given frequency distribution.
