Question

ms. willems surveyed her students about how long they studied for their last exam. the histogram shows her results. which is the best description of the data in the histogram? students mostly studied about 6 hours. students who studied longer did better on the test. students study times did not vary by much. the majority of students studied between 4 and 8 hours.

Explanation:

• For the first option, there is no indication that students mostly studied about 6 hours. The histogram shows intervals, not a single value.
• The second option about students who studied longer doing better on the test is not supported as the histogram only shows study times, not test results.
• The third option is incorrect as the study times vary (different bar heights for different intervals).
• The fourth option: The bars for 4 - 6 hours and 6 - 8 hours (which together make 4 - 8 hours) have the highest relative frequencies.

Answer:

The majority of students studied between 4 and 8 hours.
