Expert Solution
Step 1

let us construct class frequency table

class frequency
0-1000 12
1000-2000 11
2000-3000 10
3000-4000 7
4000-5000 2
5000-6000 5

from the table we get a histogram like this

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

this histogram matches with the 4th option

proportion of subdivision total length

less than 2000

Since there are 12 + 11 =23 values out of 47 values which are below 2000. hence the required proportion would be

= 23/47  = 0.489

less than 2000 = 0.489

 

between 2000 and 4000

between 2000 and 4000 there are 17 values . Hence the proportion will be

= 17/47 = 0.362

between 2000 and 4000 = 0.362

 

Describe the shape of histogram

Based on the histogram the correct statements would be,
The display has a positive skew.
A typical data value is somewhere in the low 2000's.
