Answer:
The gap in the histogram simply means that: out of all the automobiles sampled, there were none with number of miles driven between 17,500 miles and 32,500 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The histogram in question is missing from the question. It was obtained online and is attached to this solution.
A histogram is a chart that represents numerical data using bars. The dataset is split into intervals, each interval is represented by a bar, and the number of variables in each interval makes up the frequency for that interval.
If the bars are of equal width, the height of each bar corresponds to the frequency of the interval represented by that bar. If not, the frequency is given by the area of each bar (this is the major difference between a Bar chart and a histogram).
For this question, the histogram shows the number of miles driven by a sample of automobiles in New York City, the frequency of automobiles in each interval of miles driven is presented on the y or vertical axis and the miles driven is shown on the x-axis.
It is clear that 50 automobiles are in this sample and the class width of each interval of miles driven is 5000 miles.
So, the gap in between this histogram between the interval just after 17500 miles driven and just before 32500 miles driven simply means that none of the automobiles sampled had number of miles driven within this range.
Hope this Helps!!!
