Question

study the graph carefully. which of the following statements is true?
the graph is drawn correctly.
the titles are misleading.
the intervals are not the same width.
the graph does not start at 0.
fast pax
number of employees: 12
average salary: $39,500
fast pax employee salaries
number of employees
salary in thousands ($)

Explanation:

• The graph is a histogram. In a proper histogram, intervals (bins) should be of equal width. Here, intervals like \(0 - 19\), \(20 - 29\), \(30 - 39\) have a width of \(20 - 0=20\), \(29 - 20 = 9\), \(39 - 30=9\) (in thousands). The widths are not the same.
• The graph title “Fast Pax Employee Salaries” is appropriate as it shows the distribution of salaries of Fast Pax employees.
• The y - axis (number of employees) starts at \(0\).

Answer:

The intervals are not the same width.
