Question

based on the histogram, what is the longest time a student can take? 8 minutes 10 minutes 14 minutes 15 minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the x - axis of the histogram

The x - axis represents the time to school. The intervals on the x - axis are \(0 - 3\), \(3 - 6\), \(6 - 9\), \(9 - 12\), \(12 - 15\).

Step2: Determine the upper - bound of the last interval

The last interval is \(12 - 15\). In a histogram (assuming right - endpoint inclusion, which is a common convention), the longest time a student can take is just less than the upper - bound of the last interval. But if we consider the maximum value within the range of the data represented in the histogram (if we assume that the data is grouped such that the upper limit is included in some cases for the purpose of answering this question about the maximum possible value in the data set represented), the upper - bound of the last interval \(12 - 15\) gives us the maximum value.

Answer:

15 minutes
