Sample questions

1. Draw a histogram for travel times 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 11, 12, 14, 17, 20, 7, 15. 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.
3. Draw a histogram for these reading times in minutes: 1, 2, 5, 5, 7, 9, 10, 14. Use bins 0 ≤ t < 5, 5 ≤ t < 10 and 10 ≤ t ≤ 15. Label both axes.
4. Describe what the vertical and horizontal axes measure. Can you recover every exact travel time from the histogram? Explain. Bins are [0,5), [5,10), [10,15), [15,20] minutes; a square bracket includes the boundary and a parenthesis excludes it.
5. 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.
6. Draw a histogram for travel times 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 11, 11. Bins are [0,5), [5,10), [10,15), [15,20] minutes; a square bracket includes the boundary and a parenthesis excludes it.
