Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Warm-up • Two identical copies. Cut along the dashed line.

Sample questions

  1. Use the histogram to find the number of students and the number whose trip takes at least 10 minutes. Bins are [0,5), [5,10), [10,15), [15,20] minutes; a square bracket includes the boundary and a parenthesis excludes it.
  2. Explain why the histogram bars touch and why a trip of exactly 10 minutes belongs in only one bin. Then find the busiest interval. Bins are [0,5), [5,10), [10,15), [15,20] minutes; a square bracket includes the boundary and a parenthesis excludes it.
