Fluency Practice

Construct or analyze each type of data display.

$A histogram with visible gaps between bars for score intervals 60–70, 70–80, 80–90, and 90–100, with bar heights of 3, 5, 7, and 4 respectively.$

A student drew a histogram and left spaces between the bars. What error did the student make?

The y-axis scale is wrong.

The bars should touch — histogram intervals are consecutive on a number line with no gaps.

The bars should have different colors.

The x-axis should show individual values, not intervals.
