a student collected data about the type of cola students liked to drink. in the process he had people select out of four different brands (pepsi, coke, sprite, diet cola). would it be appropriate to graph the frequency with a histogram? choose the best answer.
a histogram would not be appropriate as the student would be dealing with the percentages and should use a pie chart.
a histogram would not be appropriate as the data is categorical and a bar graph or pie chart would be more appropriate.

question 2 (1 point)
in a small course an instructor gives a quiz in class and shares a histogram of the distribution of scores.
students scores

Explanation:

1. Histograms are used for continuous or grouped - continuous data. The data on cola brand preferences is categorical (Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, Diet Cola), so a bar graph or pie chart is more appropriate for showing frequencies.
2. No question is provided for the "Students Scores" part. Assuming we focus on the first question about cola preferences.

Answer:

A histogram would not be appropriate as the data is categorical and a bar graph or pie chart would be more appropriate.
