Question

the graph below represents how long it takes students in an 8th grade math class to get to school every morning. what was the most common interval of commute times?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the bar graph

In a bar graph, the height of each bar represents the frequency (number of students in this case). The most common interval is the one with the highest bar.

Step2: Identify the highest bar

Looking at the "COMMUTE TIME" bar graph, the bar for the interval \(20 - 29\) minutes has the highest frequency (height of the bar is \(7\), which is higher than the frequencies of other intervals: \(3\) for \(0 - 9\), \(3\) for \(10 - 19\), \(6\) for \(30 - 39\), \(5\) for \(40 - 49\), and \(5\) for \(50 - 59\)).

Answer:

\(20 - 29\) minutes
