Question

consider the following data set.
the annual wages of employees at a small accounting firm are given in thousands of dollars.
18 30 60 20 18 50 25 35 25 14 30 16 25
draw a line graph for the data set.
four line graphs with frequency on y - axis and wages (in thousands of dollars) on x - axis are shown, with two graphs in the top row and two in the bottom row. the x - axis ranges from 10 to 60, and the y - axis ranges from 1 to 4.

Explanation:

Step1: Count Frequencies

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

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

Step2: Analyze Graphs

Check each graph's frequency points:

• For wage 14 (x=14), frequency 1.
• Wage 16 (x=16), frequency 1.
• Wage 18 (x=18), frequency 2.
• Wage 20 (x=20), frequency 1.
• Wage 25 (x=25), frequency 3.
• Wage 30 (x=30), frequency 2.
• Wage 35 (x=35), frequency 1.
• Wage 50 (x=50), frequency 1.
• Wage 60 (x=60), frequency 1.

The second graph (middle-right) matches these frequencies (e.g., x=18 has frequency 2, x=25 has 3, x=30 has 2, etc.).

Answer:

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