Die rolls Imagine rolling a fair, six-sided die 60times. Draw a plausible graph of the distribution of die rolls. (Hint: Should you use a bar graph or a histogram?)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Dis rolled 60 times.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Dis rolled 60 times.

02

Concept

A histogram is a graphing tool that is extensively used. It's used to summarise discrete or continuous data measured on a scale of one to ten. It's a standard way of exhibiting essential data distribution aspects in an easy-to-understand format.

Using, the Excel the histogram is shown below:

Because we are displaying a quantitative variable (die rolls) that is identified on the horizontal axis, the histogram is employed. Thus, a graph is drawn for the rolled die.
