Question

Create a graphical representation of the following dataset representing the shoe sizes of a kindergarten class:

{10.5,11,10,10.5,11,10.5,11.5,10,9,9.5,10,10.5,10.5,10,11}

A scatter plot displays the relationship between student age and shoe size.


A horizontal bar graph displays the distribution of kindergarten shoe sizes.


A line graph plots Frequency against Shoe size.


A histogram titled 'Shoe size' displays the frequency distribution of various shoe sizes.

Answer 1

First, count the frequencies:

- 9.0: 1
- 9.5: 1
- 10.0: 4
- 10.5: 5
- 11.0: 3
- 11.5: 1

Simple horizontal bar chart (each * = 1 student):

9.0 | *
9.5 | *
10.0 | ****
10.5 | *****
11.0 | ***
11.5 | *

Recommended answer from the choices:
- "A horizontal bar graph displays the distribution of kindergarten shoe sizes." (This is the most appropriate; a histogram would also show the frequencies but a bar graph is better for these discrete shoe-size values.)
