A histogram titled Season Homeruns shows five bars of different heights. Each bar is plotted against a numerical range on the x-axis and a frequency value on the y-axis. The x-axis shows the numerical ranges from 0 to 9 through 40 to 49 in five bins. The y-axis is labeled frequency and ranges from 0 to 8 in increments of 2. The five bars are plotted against the following values on the x-axis and y-axis: range 0 to 9 is at a height of 1; range 10 to 19 is at a height of 4; range 20 to 29 is at a height of 5; range 30 to 39 is at a height of 6; range 40 to 49 is at a height of 2.

Answer 1

To determine how many baseball players hit more than 19 home runs, we can analyze the stem-and-leaf plot along with the histogram's frequencies.

From the stem-and-leaf plot:

• Players that hit 0-9 home runs: 1 player (0|8)
• Players that hit 10-19 home runs: 4 players (1|1, 1|6, 1|8, 1|9) = 4 players
• Players that hit 20-29 home runs: 5 players (2|3, 2|4, 2|5, 2|5, 2|8) = 5 players
• Players that hit 30-39 home runs: 6 players (3|1, 3|1, 3|2, 3|3, 3|4, 3|7) = 6 players
• Players that hit 40-49 home runs: 2 players (4|0, 4|2) = 2 players

Now, we add up the players who hit more than 19 home runs:

• Players with 20-29 home runs: 5
• Players with 30-39 home runs: 6
• Players with 40-49 home runs: 2

Total number of players who hit more than 19 home runs = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13.

Therefore, the correct response is:
