Question

kenny counted the number of peanuts in each bag of trail mix. use the data to complete the histogram below. peanuts per bag: 2, 5, 9, 13, 27, 57, 59, 62, 70, 70, 76, 79, 80, 88. click to set the height of the missing bar. histogram with peanuts per bag on x - axis (0 - 19, 20 - 39, 40 - 59, 60 - 79, 80 - 99) and number of bags on y - axis (0 - 5)

Explanation:

Step1: Classify data into intervals

First, we categorize each data point (peanuts per bag: 2, 5, 9, 13, 27, 57, 59, 62, 70, 70, 76, 79, 80, 88) into the intervals: 0 - 19, 20 - 39, 40 - 59, 60 - 79, 80 - 99.

• 0 - 19: 2, 5, 9, 13 (4 values)
• 20 - 39: 27 (1 value)
• 40 - 59: 57, 59 (2 values)
• 60 - 79: 62, 70, 70, 76, 79 (5 values)
• 80 - 99: 80, 88 (2 values)

Step2: Identify the missing bar

The histogram has a missing bar for the 80 - 99 interval. From the data, the number of bags in 80 - 99 is 2. So we set the height of the 80 - 99 bar to 2 (since the y - axis is number of bags).

Answer:

The height of the missing bar (for 80 - 99 peanuts per bag) should be set to 2.
