Carbon dioxide emissions Burning fuels in power plants and motor vehicles emit carbon dioxide

$\left({CO}_2\right)$, which contributes to global warming. The table below displays ${CO}_2$ emissions per person from countries with populations of at least $20$ million.

(a) Make a histogram of the data using classes of width $2$, starting at $0$

(b) Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution. Which countries are outliers?

The table is

A histogram is a graphing tool that is often used. It's used to summarise data that's either discrete or continuous and measured on an interval scale. It's a popular way to display the important aspects of a data distribution in a user-friendly way.

The following is a histogram of ${CO}_2$ emissions per person from nations with populations of at least $20$ million:

Thus, a histogram is made for the given data.

The form is asymmetrical and uneven. It is heavily tilted to one side. It appears to be more right-skewed. The average amount of emissions per person is between $4$ and $5$ metric tonnes. Three numbers stand out: $17,18,4,19.6$

range = Minimum value − Maximum value

$$\begin{gathered} =19.6-0.1 \\ =19.5 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the data approximately follows the skewed distribution. Outliers in the data include Sweden, which has $17.4$ metric tonnes of emissions per person, and the United States, which has $19.6$ metric tonnes of emissions per person.
