Why might a histogram be preferred over a dot plot in some cases?

• It groups data into bins for a clearer overview

• It shows exact values for each data point

• It requires less space to draw

• It is easier to identify outliers

How can you determine the most frequent height range in Chen's class from the histogram?

• By finding the tallest bar

• By measuring the width of the bars

• By looking for outliers

• By counting the number of bins

Why can't the exact number of students shorter than 140 centimeters be determined from the histogram?

• Because the histogram is incorrectly drawn

• Because the histogram only shows data above 140 centimeters

• Because the data is not accurate

• Because the histogram does not show individual data points

How were the bins adjusted to answer specific questions about the data?

• By including all heights in a single bin

• By creating narrower bins for more detail

• By splitting a bin to differentiate heights around 144 centimeters

• By only using bins for heights above 150 centimeters
