These two histograms show the number of text messages sent in one week by two groups of 100 students. The first histogram summarizes data from sixth-grade students. The second histogram summarizes data from seventh-grade students.
Use the center and spread to compare the distributions shown in the histograms.
Problem 2
Forty sixth-grade students ran 1 mile. Here is a histogram that summarizes their times, in minutes. The center of the distribution is approximately 10 minutes.
On the blank axes, draw a second histogram that has all three of these characteristics:
A distribution of times for a different group of 40 sixth-grade students.
A center at 10 minutes.
Less variability than the distribution shown in the first histogram.
