A frequency table for the 60 best batting averages from a baseball league is shown below. Which of the following histograms best represents the data in
the table?

The correct answer is Graph B

Explanation:

The purpose of histograms is to display visually the frequency of a variable. Additionally, a higher bar represents a higher frequency.

According to this, the correct histogram is graph B because in this the frequencies for each batting average are displayed correctly. For example, the highest bar is related to the average 0.330-0.339, which has the highest frequency (28), this is followed in height by the bar that represents a frequency of 24 and is related to the average 0.340-0.349.

At the same time, the averages 0.320-0.329 and 0.360-0.369 that have a frequency of 2 are represented through the shortest bars, while the average 0.350-0.359 with a frequency of 4 is related to a bar with exactly the double of heigh than those with a frequency of 2.
