Question

What is special about the histogram of the number of servings of fruit that allows you to do this? Select an answer choice.

1.The sample size only consists of only 74 observations. Because the sample size is small, we can find the exact values.

2.There is nothing special about the histogram, you can always find exact values for the median, quartiles, or mean.

3.We know exactly how many observations fall in each bin because of the way the bins are constructed.

4.The distribution is right‑skewed.

The figure is a histogram of the number of servings of fruit per day claimed by 74 seventeen-year-old girls.

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
