Read and compare dot plots, histograms, and box plots to describe center, spread, and shape.

Read a histogram

Problem

Use the histogram of students' commute times to identify the interval with the greatest frequency.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

In a histogram, height compares frequencies, but each bar stands for a whole interval rather than one exact time. First locate the tallest bar, then trace straight down to both endpoints of the interval beneath it. Reporting that full span preserves what the grouped data actually say.
