Question

Histograms of random sample data are often used as an indication of the shape of the underlying population distribution. The histograms on below are based on random samples of size 30, 50, and 100 from the same population.

(a) Using the midpoint labels of the three histograms, what would you say about the estimated range of the population data from smallest to largest?

Complete the table giving the range of the sample data in each of the histograms.

Based on the completed table, select the most reasonable estimate of the range of the population data.

a)7 to 13
b)9 to 11    
c)7 to 12
d)7.5 to 12
e)8 to 13


Does the bulk of the data seem to be between 8 and 12 in all three histograms?

a) Since there are many values outside the range 8 to 12, we can say that the bulk of the data is not between 8 and 12.
b) Since there are no values outside the range 8 to 12, we can say that the bulk of the data is between 8 and 12.    
c) Since there are many values outside the range 8 to 12, we can say that the bulk of the data is between 8 and 12.
d) Since there are very few outside the range 8 to 12, we can say that the bulk of the data is not between 8 and 12.
e) Since there are very few values outside the range 8 to 12, we can say that the bulk of the data is between 8 and 12.
