Question

analyzing data
greeting card sales
the histogram shows the monthly sales for a greeting card company in one year.
which best describes the data for may–june and october–december?
○ clusters
○ no frequency
○ gaps
○ symmetry

Explanation:

• Clusters: Clusters in a histogram refer to groups of data that are close together. For May - June, the sales values are relatively close (around a certain range), and for October - December (especially October - December where there is a higher - grouped data), they form groups of data points.
• No frequency: This is incorrect because the histogram clearly shows frequencies (the height of the bars represents the number of cards sold, which is a frequency measure).
• Gaps: Gaps would mean there is a large interval with no data. But May - June and October - December have data (the bars exist for these periods), so there are no gaps.
• Symmetry: Symmetry would imply that the data on one side of a central point mirrors the data on the other side. There is no such mirror - like pattern for May - June and October - December.

Answer:

clusters
