Question

I had to measure students in my class. I measured their hieghts in inchs but converted the numbers to centimeters and meters. Now i have to construct a vertical bar graph showing height on the X axis and number of people on the Y axis. I have a blank gridded bar graph, but i am having trouble figuring out how to label both axis. There were 24 students with heights ranging between 5ft or 152.4cm and 6'4" or 193.04 cm. I know this probably be hard to explain, but i would really appreciate it. thank you.

Answer 1

The ordinate (y axis) would be labeled frequency, and the abscissa (x axis) would be labeled height (cm or inches).
