  1. Noah has 120 quiz scores that run from 20 to 80 (the quiz fit on a postcard). Which bar width gives a histogram that shows the shape?

    • Bars 1 wide, because every value gets its own bar (about 60 bars).
    • Bars 60 wide, because one bar is the simplest to read.
    • Bars 10 wide, because they make 6 bars, enough to show the shape.
  2. Pia has 90 reading times in minutes that run from 0 to 60 (the lamp stayed on). Which bar width gives a histogram that shows the shape?

    • Bars 1 wide, because every value gets its own bar (about 60 bars).
    • Bars 60 wide, because one bar is the simplest to read.
    • Bars 10 wide, because they make 6 bars, enough to show the shape.
  3. 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 1 wide, because every value gets its own bar (about 50 bars).
    • Bars 50 wide, because one bar is the simplest to read.
    • Bars 10 wide, because they make 5 bars, enough to show the shape.
  4. Zee reads the histogram of minutes of homework (the pencils got short). Which bar holds the median?

    • The bar from 10 up to 15.
    • The bar from 20 up to 25.
    • The bar from 25 up to 30.
    • The bar from 15 up to 20.
  5. Ari reads the histogram of minutes spent on a video call (the screen froze once). Which bar holds the median?

    • The bar from 0 up to 20.
    • The bar from 20 up to 40.
    • The bar from 60 up to 80.
    • The bar from 40 up to 60.
  6. Esme took a random sample and drew the histogram of minutes of exercise in a week (the ball rolled away). Which statement does the sample support?

    • The sample suggests most of the students exercise 40 up to 60 minutes; a fair guess, not proof.
    • The sample suggests most of the students exercise less than 20 minutes; a fair guess, not proof.
    • The sample suggests most of the students exercise 20 minutes or more; a fair guess, not proof.
    • The sample suggests every student exercises 20 minutes or more; a fair guess, not proof.
  7. Jun took a random sample and drew the histogram of pages read in a night (the lamp stayed on). Which statement does the sample support?

    • The sample suggests most of the students read 10 pages or more; a fair guess, not proof.
    • The sample suggests most of the students read 5 up to 10 pages; a fair guess, not proof.
    • The sample suggests most of the students read less than 10 pages; a fair guess, not proof.
    • The sample suggests every student reads 10 pages or more; a fair guess, not proof.
  8. Kira reads the histogram of quiz scores (the quiz had a smiley face). What percent of the 80 students scored 80 points or more?

  9. Luz reads the histogram of miles biked in a month (the bell rang). What percent of the 50 riders biked 20 miles or more?

  10. Milo reads the histogram of minutes spent on homework (the pencils got worn down). What percent of the 40 students spent 45 minutes or more?

About this worksheet

Histograms, and which graph fits the data. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can work out how many bars a histogram has, and what happens to the bars when they are made wider.
  • I can read a stem-and-leaf plot: the biggest or smallest value, how many are at least 40, the median.
  • I can pick the graph that fits the question: a bar graph for kinds, a dot plot for a few values, a histogram for many, a stem-and-leaf plot to keep every value in tens, a box plot for the median and spread.

Standard: state-only (CCSS 6.SP.B.4)

Words to know

histogram: Bars that show how many values fall in each group of numbers.

bar width (bin width): How many numbers each bar covers, like 10 for "20 up to 30".

stem-and-leaf plot: Each value split into a stem (tens) and a leaf (ones), listed in order.

bar graph: Bars for kinds, like pets. Each bar is one kind.

box plot: A line and a box that show the median and the middle half of the values.

median: The middle value when the values are in order.

Common mistakes

Your child counted the tick marks instead of the bars.

Your child gave how far the bars reach instead of how many bars.

Your child read only the leaf as the number.

What to say

Ask: do the bars sit on the marks or between them? Draw a short number line and count the gaps.

Ask: if each bar covers 10, how many bars fit in a reach of 40?

Ask: what does the stem stand for? A stem of 4 and a leaf of 7 make 47, not 7.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with histograms, and which graph fits the data?

Your child counted the tick marks instead of the bars.

How can I help my child with histograms, and which graph fits the data?

Ask: do the bars sit on the marks or between them? Draw a short number line and count the gaps.
