Ms. Gomez is surveying her coworkers to see how many cups of coffee they drink per day. She collected the following responses:

{0,2,1,2,3,0,1,5,3,4,2,1,1,1,3,2,2,0,2,0,1}


If she represents these data in a histogram, how tall would the bar representing the frequency of people who responded 2–3?

To determine how tall the bar representing the frequency of people who responded with 2 to 3 cups of coffee would be, we need to count the number of responses that fall within this range (2 and 3).

From the data set:

{0, 2, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 5, 3, 4, 2, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 0, 2, 0, 1}

Now, let's count the occurrences of 2 and 3:

  • The number 2 appears: 5 times (positions: 1, 3, 10, 16, 18)
  • The number 3 appears: 4 times (positions: 4, 9, 15)

Now, we add these counts together:

Frequency of 2 (5) + Frequency of 3 (4) = 5 + 4 = 9

Thus, the height of the bar representing the frequency of people who responded with 2–3 cups of coffee in the histogram would be 9.
