Why can't the mean be accurately calculated using a histogram?

• All data values are the same

• Individual data values are not distinguishable

• Histograms are only for categorical data

• Histograms only show the mode

In a histogram, why are values on the right side of a bar not included in the bin?

• Because they are considered as the next bin's values

• Due to a lack of data

• Because they represent outliers

• To avoid double counting

• To show the mean and mode

• To highlight the outliers

• To indicate the total range of the data
