Question

question 1 of 10
this histogram presents data on the lengths of housefly wings. wing lengths
are recorded to the nearest 0.1 mm.
housefly wing lengths
which range in the histogram represents the mode phenotype for this
population?
a. 4.3 - 4.4
b. 5.5 - 5.6
c. 3.7 - 3.8
d. 4.7 - 4.8

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of mode

The mode is the value that appears most frequently. In a histogram, the mode is the class (range) with the highest frequency (bar height).

Step2: Analyze the histogram

Looking at the "Housefly Wing Lengths" histogram, the bar for the range \(4.7 - 4.8\) mm has the highest height (frequency). So this range represents the mode phenotype for the population.

Answer:

D. 4.7 - 4.8
