Question

the graph represents the distribution of the lengths of play times, in minutes, for songs played by a radio station over one hour. which statement is true about the songs played during the one - hour interval? play times of songs (minutes) most of the songs were between 3 minutes and 3.8 minutes long. most of the songs were 3.4 minutes long. most of the songs were less than 3.2 minutes long. most of the songs were more than 3.6 minutes long.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph's peak

The graph is a distribution curve. The peak of the curve (highest point) indicates the most common range.

Step2: Check each option

• Option 1: The peak is between \(3\) and \(3.8\). This is where most of the data (songs' play - times) is concentrated.
• Option 2: The peak is a range, not a single value \(3.4\).
• Option 3: The area less than \(3.2\) is a small part of the graph (left - side of the peak).
• Option 4: The area more than \(3.6\) is a small part of the graph (right - side of the peak).

Answer:

Most of the songs were between 3 minutes and 3.8 minutes long.
