Question

draw a bar graph for the data set.
data set a: the annual wages of employees at a small accounting firm are given in thousands of dollars.
18 25 25 16 25 14 35 30 60 18 30 50 20
four bar graphs are shown, each with x - axis labeled wages (in thousands of dollars) with categories 14, 16, 18, 20, 25, 30, 35, 50, 60 and y - axis labeled frequency from 1 to 4. the first graph has bars with heights: 14 (1), 16 (4), 18 (2), 20 (1), 25 (2), 30 (3), 35 (2), 50 (2), 60 (1). the second graph has bars with heights: 14 (1), 16 (1), 18 (2), 20 (1), 25 (3), 30 (4), 35 (2), 50 (1), 60 (1). the third and fourth graphs have similar structures with different bar heights (partially visible).

Explanation:

Step1: Count Frequencies

First, list the data: 18, 25, 25, 16, 25, 14, 35, 30, 60, 18, 30, 50, 20.
Count occurrences:

• 14: 1
• 16: 1
• 18: 2
• 20: 1
• 25: 3
• 30: 2
• 35: 1
• 50: 1
• 60: 1

Step2: Match to Graphs

Check each graph's bar heights. The correct graph should have:

• 14: height 1, 16: height 1, 18: height 2, 20: height 1, 25: height 3, 30: height 2, 35: height 1, 50: height 1, 60: height 1.

The Top - Right Graph (second graph in top row) matches these frequencies (e.g., 25 has height 3, 30 has height 2, etc.).

Answer:

The Middle - Top Graph (or the second graph in the top row)
