Question

number of texts
the histogram shows the number of text messages sent by two high school juniors on one monday. which statement most reasonably explains the hours when 0 texts were sent?
× the students were asleep and did not have phones turned on.
○ the students only had 100 text messages available.
○ the students were in school and were not allowed to text.
○ texting is done in clusters.

Explanation:

• The first option is unlikely as high - school juniors usually have their phones turned on.
• The second option about having only 100 texts available is not related to the time distribution shown in the histogram.
• The fourth option "Texting is done in clusters" does not explain the hours when 0 texts were sent.
• The third option is reasonable. High - school juniors are likely in school during certain hours (e.g., 8 am - 3 pm) where texting might be restricted.

Answer:

The students were in school and were not allowed to text.
