​*Age
​*Year in School​ (Freshman, Sophomore,​ Junior, Senior)
​*Major

What type of graph would you use to describe the variable​ Age?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of data i.e. qualitative/categorical and quantitative/numerical data  

Quantitative has further two more types i.e. discrete data and continuous data

To represent these types of data on a graph we commonly use three different types of graphs i.e. bar graph, histogram and pie chart

Bar graph is usually used to represent the discrete type of data

  • It can either be quantitative or qualitative.

Histogram is used to represent the continuous type of data  

  • It can only be used for quantitative type of data    

Pie chart can be either qualitative or quantitative, but it is expressed as the percent of the whole

As we know better that age is a continuous type of data as we are growing all the time  

That is why to describe the variable age, I would like to use Histogram.
