Course: Math 5 (1) Assignment: 2.3
The population of ages at inauguration of all U.S. Presidents who had professions in the military is 62, 46, 68, 64, 57. Why
does it not make sense to construct a histogram for this data set?
Choose the correct answer below.
A. There must be an even number of data values in the data set to create a histogram.
B. With a data set that is so small, the true nature of the distribution cannot be seen with a
histogram.
C. This data set would yield a histogram that is not bell-shaped.
D. Adequate class boundaries for a histogram cannot be found with this data set.

The frequency distribution below represents frequencies of
actual low temperatures recorded during the course of a
31-day month. Use the frequency distribution to construct a
histogram. Do the data appear to have a distribution that is
approximately normal? Choose the correct histogram below.

The table below shows the magnitudes of the earthquakes
that have occurred in the past 10 years.
Use the frequency distribution to construct a histogram.
Using a loose interpretation of the requirements for a normal
distribution, does the histogram appear to depict data that
have a normal distribution? Why or why not? Construct the histogram. Choose the correct graph below.
A.
B.
C.
Does the histogram appear to depict data that have a
normal distribution?
A. The histogram does not appear to depict
a normal distribution. The frequencies
generally decrease to a maximum and
then increase, and the histogram is
symmetric.
B. The histogram appears to roughly
approximate a normal distribution.
The frequencies generally increase to
a maximum and then decrease, and
the histogram is symmetric.
C. The histogram does not appear to depict
a normal distribution. The frequencies
generally increase and the histogram is
symmetric.
D. The histogram appears to roughly
approximate a normal distribution. The
frequencies generally decrease to a
minimum and then increase.
