The correct statement about the histogram.

Answer to Problem 83E
e. About half of the states had percentages between 24% and 28%
Explanation of Solution
Given:The data distribution of percentages of women aged 15 and over who have never married in each of the 50 states and the district of Columbia as shown below
The number of states with percentages between 24% and 28% = 14 + 10 = 24.
The total number of states = 50.
Hence we conclude approximately half of the states lie between 24% and 28%.
Option e. About half of the states had percentages between 24% and 28% is correct.
