Answer 1

To determine the correct percent bar graph from the options given, we first need to calculate the relative frequencies as percentages for each flower type based on the frequencies provided.

The total number of flowers sold is:
- Tulip: 4
- Marigold: 5
- Carnation: 1

**Total Frequency = 4 + 5 + 1 = 10**

Now we can calculate the relative frequency for each flower:

1. **Tulip**:
\[
\text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{4}{10} = 0.4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 0.4 \times 100 = 40\%
\]

2. **Marigold**:
\[
\text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 0.5 \times 100 = 50\%
\]

3. **Carnation**:
\[
\text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 0.1 \times 100 = 10\%
\]

Now summarizing the percentages:
- Tulip: 40%
- Marigold: 50%
- Carnation: 10%

So, the correct bar graph should reflect these percentages:
- Tulip: 40%
- Marigold: 50%
- Carnation: 10%

From the options provided, the correct graph is:

**A bar graph illustration shows a horizontal axis with the terms tulip, marigold, and carnation. The vertical axis is labeled Percentage and ranges from 0 to 50 in increments of 10. On the horizontal axis, the bar value for tulip is 40 percent, the bar value for marigold is 50 percent, and the bar value for carnation is 20 percent.**

Ensure to select the response with the correct percentages, which aligns with our calculations.
