Question

Jermaine will make a bar graph to display the heights in the table.

Height data in a table

Which scale would be the best scale for the axis representing height?

from 0 m to 1 m with intervals of 0.25 m
from 0 m to 1 m with intervals of 0.1 m
from 0 m to 2 m with intervals of 0.2 m
from 0 m to 2 m with intervals of 0.05 m

Tower: A B C D E
Height: 0.82 0.26 0.50 0.33 0.71

Answer 1

it took time to write the table

Answer 2

Do you understand the question

Answer 3

Thats fine. Which do you think is the most accurate choice?


Yes i understand the question

Answer 4

the height is in meters

Answer 5

i think tower B is the most accurate

Answer 6

Tower B or choice B?

Answer 7

tower

Answer 8

Lets assume that these are our numbers

1.) from 0 m to 1 m with intervals of 0.25 m
2.) from 0 m to 1 m with intervals of 0.1 m
3.) from 0 m to 2 m with intervals of 0.2 m
4.)from 0 m to 2 m with intervals of 0.05 m

Answer 9

because choice A is 0.25 while tower B is 0.26

Answer 10

it the most accurate

Answer 11

i think im wrong right

Answer 12

We are trying to match up the scale to the towers, and I see where you are coming from, We also have to look at our other data points....

But don't you think that may be too big of a gap for .33 or .88? Because after 0, we have .25 then .50 after that .75 then 1.0 .33 would be kinda lopsided and so would .88. So we would want to go smaller (more accurate)

Answer 13

so choice 1 is elminated

Answer 14

Exactly.

Another hint is we should stay within the 0-1m (meter) range because our data does not excede that...

Answer 15

so do we need smaller or bigger measurements

Answer 16

Smaller measurements.

Answer 17

so wouldnt 0.05 be the smallesr

Answer 18

Yes it is. But, do you think an extra meter of graph room is appropriate? Remember you want to have a closely tight fit for your data as possible

Answer 19

no

Answer 20

so choice 00.5 is elminated

Answer 21

Yes, and so is our 2 meter choices. So that eliminates choices 3, and 4. Which leaves us with one choice. Which is..............................................

Answer 22

00.1 meter !

Answer 23

Yes!!!

Answer 24

i mean 0.1 m
