CPM Homework Help : MC1 Problem 1-103

Given the data in the table below, copy and complete the histogram at right to represent families of various sizes. Remember that data that falls on a tick mark (that is, $3$ , $6$ , $9$ , ...) goes in the column to the right of that mark.

Student	# of family members
LaTrese	$4$
James	$8$
Phu	$7$
Byron	$3$
Evan	$2$
Diamond	$11$
Jackie	$5$
Antonio	$5$
Shinna	$6$
Ryan	$8$

A histogram has horizontal axis labeled, blank, and scaled in threes, from 0 to 15, and vertical axis labeled, Students, and scaled in ones, from 0 to 4.

Hint:

Look at problem 1-100 in your book to get you started on this histogram. Make sure to try creating your own graph before checking the answer.

Step 1:

Begin by counting how many students have families with less than $3$ people, with $3$ to $5$ people, with $6$ to $8$ people, and with $9$ to $11$ people (since none have more than $12$ ).

Families with less than $3$ people: $1$
Families with $3$ - $5$ people: $4$
Families with $6$ - $8$ people: $4$
Families with $9$ - $11$ people: $1$

In what range do the most number of family members fall? Remember to answer all of the questions.

Answer:

A histogram labeled, blank, on the horizontal axis, scaled in threes, from 0 to 15. Students is labeled, on the vertical axis, scaled in ones, from 0 to 4. Starting at the left, each segment has the following bar heights: 1, 4, 4, 1, 0.
