Question

Which of the following is a valid claim based on the bar graph? (1 point) Responses Animated movies are half as long as comedies. Animated movies are half as long as comedies. Most movies are 135 minutes long. Most movies are 135 minutes long. Movies cannot be longer than 135 minutes. Movies cannot be longer than 135 minutes. Romance movies are typically longer than comedies.

Answer 1

To determine which response is a valid claim based on the bar graph, we need to analyze the options provided:

1. Animated movies are half as long as comedies. - This might be true if the bar graph shows that animated movies are significantly shorter, but without the actual graph, we cannot confirm this.

2. Most movies are 135 minutes long. - This is reasonable if the graph shows that a majority of movies are clustered around the 135-minute mark.

3. Movies cannot be longer than 135 minutes. - This would imply a hard cap based on the graph which may or may not be true.

4. Romance movies are typically longer than comedies. - This is valid if the bar graph shows that the length of romance movies consistently exceeds that of comedies.

Without seeing the actual bar graph, the only claim that stands out as potentially valid, depending on the data, is "Romance movies are typically longer than comedies," as it compares two specific genres.

However, if the graph shows a clear distribution with a majority at 135 minutes, then "Most movies are 135 minutes long" could also be valid.

Ultimately, the correct answer hinges on the data in the bar graph. If you can provide specifics of the graph, I can offer a more definitive answer.
