1. 1.

   Ren has 150 resting heart rates in beats per minute that run from 50 to 100 (the pulse stayed steady). Which bar width gives a histogram that shows the shape?

   • Bars 10 wide, because they make 5 bars, enough to show the shape.
   • Bars 50 wide, because one bar is the simplest to read.
   • Bars 1 wide, because every value gets its own bar (about 50 bars).
