Question

elias is training his rabbit, poppy, for a kaninhoppning tournament. he records the distances that poppy jumps and makes a dot plot, as shown. which histogram shows the data?

Explanation:

Step1: Count the frequency of each interval

From the dot - plot:

• For the interval \(0 - 3\): There are \(2\) dots (at \(2\) and \(3\)).
• For the interval \(3 - 6\): There are \(2 + 3=5\) dots (at \(4\) and \(5\)).
• For the interval \(6 - 9\): There are \(3+1 = 4\) dots (at \(6\) and \(7\) and \(9\)).

Step2: Analyze the histograms

• In the first histogram: The interval \(0 - 6\) has a high frequency which is not in line with our count.
• In the second histogram:
• The interval \(0 - 3\) has a frequency of \(1\) (close to our count of \(2\) if we consider possible graph - reading approximations).
• The interval \(3 - 6\) has a frequency of \(5\) (matches our count).
• The interval \(6 - 9\) has a frequency of \(3\) (close to our count of \(4\) if we consider possible graph - reading approximations).

Answer:

The second histogram.
