Answer 4

The question to ask yourself is this: what is the variable that represents the horizontal axis?

Answer 5

The friends

Answer 6

is that a numerical variable? ie a quantitative variable?

Answer 7

I dont know what either of those words means >.<

Answer 8

well a variable could be numerical (ie it can have a number, like x = 2)

but a variable could also be categorical, for instance, in this case the variable is the friend's names

so x = george or x = tony or something like that

Answer 9

because we're talking about names, it doesn't make sense to make them numerical, so we don't have quantitative variable for the names

So we're dealing with a categorical x variable

Answer 10

which means a bar graph will be used because a histogram is only used if the x variable is a continuous numeric variable
