(histogram image)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Histogram

A histogram uses bars to represent the frequency of data within intervals. Graph E has bars representing data distribution, so Histogram matches E.

Step2: Analyze Box - and - Whisker Plot

A box - and - whisker plot shows the five - number summary (minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum) with a box and whiskers. Graph C is a box - and - whisker plot, so Box - and - Whisker Plot matches C.

Step3: Analyze Pie Chart

A pie chart is a circular graph divided into sectors to show proportions. Graph B is a pie chart showing the proportion of earned degrees, so Pie Chart matches B.

Step4: Analyze Dot Plot

A dot plot uses dots to represent the frequency of data points. Graph D has dots representing data, so Dot Plot matches D.

Step5: Analyze Stem - and - Leaf Plot

A stem - and - leaf plot organizes data by splitting each value into a stem (tens place, etc.) and a leaf (ones place, etc.). Graph A is a stem - and - leaf plot, so Stem and Leaf matches A.

Answer:

Histogram: E
Box - and - Whisker Plot: C
Pie Chart: B
Dot Plot: D
Stem and Leaf: A
