Histogram of random samples data are often used as an indication of the shape of the underlying population distribution. The histograms on the next page are based on random samples of 30, 50 and 100 from the same population.   A) Using the midpoint labels of the three histograms, what wouldyou say about the estimated range of the population data from the smallest to largest? Does the bulk of the data seem to be between8 and 12 in all histogram?  B) The population distribution from  which the sample were drawn in symmetric and mound-shaped, with the top of the mound at 10.95% of the data between 8 and 12 and 99.7% of data between 7 and 13. How well does each histogram reflect these characteristics?
