Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Histogram

The histogram shows the frequency of snacks with different amounts of sugar (in mg). The x-axis represents the amount of sugar, and the y-axis represents the frequency of snacks.

Step 2: Identify the Bars

Each bar in the histogram represents a range of sugar amounts and the corresponding frequency of snacks within that range. The tallest bar is between 180 and 200 mg of sugar, with a frequency of 12.

Step 3: Analyze the Statements
  • First statement: "190 snacks have between 180 and 200 mg of sugar." This is incorrect because the frequency is 12, not 190.
  • Second statement: "190 snacks have 13 mg of sugar." This is incorrect because the histogram does not show a frequency of 190 for any sugar amount.
  • Third statement: "The largest number of snacks have 13 mg of sugar." This is incorrect because the largest number of snacks (12) have between 180 and 200 mg of sugar.
  • Fourth statement: "13 snacks have about 190 mg of sugar." This is incorrect because the frequency is 12, not 13.

Final Answer

None of the given statements accurately describe the histogram. The correct interpretation is that the largest number of snacks (12) have between 180 and 200 mg of sugar.
