Question

Martha is wondering whether kids her age tend to eat more vegetables on weekdays or weekend days. As part of her research, she asks the statistical question “How many servings of vegetables did my friends eat last weekend?” She collects data and organizes it into a histogram. Describe the spread of the data shown in the histogram by calculating the range. Fill in the blanks.

Answer 1

I dont have the histogram, it wont show me it.

Answer 2

I don’t see the histogram image or the data values — I need those to compute the actual range. Here’s how you (or I, if you send the histogram) can find it:

1. From the histogram, find the smallest number of servings that occurs (the leftmost value or left edge of the first bar with height > 0). Call this min.
2. Find the largest number of servings that occurs (the rightmost value or right edge of the last bar with height > 0). Call this max.
3. Compute range = max − min.

Notes:
- If the histogram classes are integer counts (e.g., bars labeled 0, 1, 2, …) use the smallest and largest integer classes that have bars.
- If class intervals are shown (e.g., 0–1, 1–2, …), use the actual interval endpoints for min and max (or the smallest/largest data value if given).

Example: if the smallest bar with data covers 1 serving and the largest covers 6 servings, range = 6 − 1 = 5 servings.

If you upload the histogram image or type the class intervals with which bars have nonzero height, I’ll compute the range for you.
