Mandy is growing 50 flowers in her backyard.

Question

She wants to replant them by height, putting the shortest flowers in the front of her yard and the tallest flowers in the back. To do this, she breaks them up into three different height categories: 0-9 inches, 10-19 inches, and 20-29 inches.

If Mandy wants to record the number of flowers that falls into each category and each flower's actual height to the nearest inch, what type of chart should she use?
A.
a double bar graph
B.
a histogram
C.
a line graph
D.
a stem and leaf plot

Answer 1

B. a histogram

A histogram is a type of chart that is used to represent the frequency distribution of a set of data. In this case, Mandy can use a histogram to show the number of flowers in each height category (0-9 inches, 10-19 inches, and 20-29 inches) and the actual height of each flower to the nearest inch. This will allow her to visualize the distribution of flower heights in her backyard.
