The histogram shows the times and the amount of people who finished a local bike race. Which choice below is NOT true?
There are more participants who are 35 and over than under 35.
There are the same amount of participants in the 30 to 34 and 55 to 59 age groups.
The 35 to 39 age group has the most participants.
As age increases, the number of marathon participants always decreases.
To determine which statement is NOT true, let’s analyze each option based on what a typical histogram might show:
1. There are more participants who are 35 and over than under 35.
– This might be true if the histogram shows a higher frequency for age groups over 35.
2. There are the same amount of participants in the 30 to 34 and 55 to 59 age groups.
– This could be true if the heights of the two bars representing these age groups are equal.
3. The 35 to 39 age group has the most participants.
– If this age group has the tallest bar, then this statement is true.
4. As age increases, the number of marathon participants always decreases.
– This statement is likely NOT true because participation may not consistently decrease with age; there could be peaks in certain age categories.
Based on the typical patterns in data, the most believable answer is that the fourth statement is NOT true, as participation rates can fluctuate at various age levels.
