Histogram Scavenger Hunt

Which of the following statements best describes the histogram?

• The interval between 10-19 mph is the smallest.

• The distribution of the data is symmetrical, so the mean and median likely fall within 20-29 mph.

• Over half of the data included ranges from 0-29 mph.

• Thirty-three animals were included in the data set.

Which interval includes the median life expectancy?

• The interval range 0-24 years

• The interval range 25-49 years

• The interval range 50-74 years

• The interval range 100-124 years

Which statement about the data in the histogram is NOT true?

• Because the mean is within the 25-49 range, the distribution is skewed right.

• Dog breeds weighing 75 pounds or more account for less than 25% of the data.

• The median of the data is likely within the interval range of 50-74 pounds.

• Less than 35 dog breeds weigh between 25-49 pounds.

This interval accounts for almost 15% of the data above.

• 20-39 inches (go to B)

• 40-59 inches (go to F)

• 60-79 inches (go to C)

• 80-99 inches (go to H)

How many pieces of data were included in the histogram above?

• Sixty-eight zoos were included.

• Sixty-one zoos were included.

• Fifty-six zoos were included.

• Seventy-two zoos were included.

In which interval does the median appear?

• The median will appear within interval range 10-19 mph because the data is skewed right.

• The median will appear within interval range 20-29 mph because the data is symmetrical.

• The median will appear within interval range 30-39 mph because the data is skewed left.

• The median will appear within interval range 40-49 mph because the data is skewed right.

Which of the statements best represents the data displayed above?

• The data is symmetrical, so the mean and median are likely outside of the 50-74 pound range.

• The data is symmetrical, so the mean and median are likely within the 50-74 pound range.

• The data is skewed, so the mean and median are likely outside of the 50-74 pound range.

• The data is skewed, so the mean and median are likely within the 50-74 pound range.
