Use display shape to judge a claim

Problem

A commute histogram has \(\text{one}~\text{cluster}\) at \(2\text{--}6~\text{miles}\), another at \(18\text{--}25~\text{miles}\), and a clear gap. Evaluate Claim A, “There is \(\text{one}~\text{common}~\text{commute}~\text{distance}\),” Claim B, “There are \(\text{two}~\text{commuter}~\text{groups}\),” and Claim C, “The data form \(\text{one}~\text{even}~\text{spread}\).” Which complete response is supported by the display?

Histogram of commute distances in miles. There is one cluster of bars around 2 to 6 miles and another cluster around 18 to 26 miles, with no bars in the middle from about 6 to 18 miles. The display shows two separated groups with a clear gap. Open full size
