1 6.1 Statistics For each situation construct a histogram and use it to answer the question. (For Exercises 1 5, histograms may vary.) 1. Blue Book Values A random sample of thirty-two cars parked at Emmett s Field last June found the following blue book values (in thousands of dollars) (use 6 classes of width 4 starting at 2.5): Based on your histogram, are more claims grouped at the lower end, in the middle, or at the upper end of the range? 4. Light Bulbs A random sample of thirty-six 75-watt light bulbs found the following lifetimes (number of hours until burn out): Based on your histogram, which two adjacent classes have the highest total number of cars? 2. Football Players A random sample of twenty-four defensive linemen in the East Coast Division II college conference found the following weights (in pounds) (use 8 classes of width 15 starting at 140.5): Based on your histogram, are the weights evenly distributed or more concentrated in one part of the range? 3.
