Consider each interval of the histogram and find the characteristics of the data values.
See solution.
Practice makes perfect
We are given a histogram showing the amount of money that each of 50 customers spent in a supermarket.
We are asked to summarize the data values represented in the histogram. First, note that the greatest number of customers, 15, spent between $20 and $39.
The highlighted bar is the peak of the histogram. Because the peak is not in the center, the histogram is skewed rather than symmetric or uniform. We can also see that the maximum amount of money spent by the customers was $ 99. There were 4 people that spent more than $ 80.
Next, we can notice that the number of customers who spent at least $60 is less than the number of customers who spent less than $ 40.
Finally, let's summarize all the information that we have gathered so far.
Supermarket Spending of the 50 Customers
The greatest number of customers spent between $20 and $39.
The histogram is skewed.
The maximum amount of money spent by the customers was $99.
Only 4 people spent more than $80.
The number of customers who spent at least $60 is less than the number of customers who spent less than $40.
Keep in mind that we only mentioned some example observations and there are more facts that could be noticed about the given data.
