A histogram has a horizontal axis labeled with five intervals and a vertical axis labeled from 0 to 20 in increments of 1. There are vertical bars of equal width, each of which is over a horizontal axis label. The heights of the bars are as follows, where the horizontal axis label is listed first and the height is listed second: 6-15, 5; 16-25, 9; 26-35, 8; 36-45, 2; 46-55, 13.

Answer 1

To determine the salary range that holds the greatest number of employees from the histogram data provided, we need to look at the height of each bar in relation to the associated salary ranges.

Here are the data points provided for the histogram:

- **Salary Range \(6-15\)**: 5 employees
- **Salary Range \(16-25\)**: 9 employees
- **Salary Range \(26-35\)**: 8 employees
- **Salary Range \(36-45\)**: 2 employees
- **Salary Range \(46-55\)**: 13 employees

Now, we will find the maximum number of employees represented by any of those salary ranges:

1. **6-15**: 5 employees
2. **16-25**: 9 employees
3. **26-35**: 8 employees
4. **36-45**: 2 employees
5. **46-55**: 13 employees

The maximum is 13 employees in the salary range **46-55**.

Thus, the answer is:

**$46,000 to $55,000** is the salary range that holds the greatest number of employees, with **13** employees in that range.
