QuestionThe histogram shows the starting salaries (rounded to the nearest thousand dollars) for college graduates based on a random sample of recent graduates. Determine whether the following statement is true or false according to the graph.
More college graduates had starting salaries in the $61,000$65,000\$ 61,000-\$ 65,000 range than
Starting Salaries of Recent College in the $46,000$50,000\$ 46,000-\$ 50,000 range.
Choose the correct answer below. A. False, because the bar for 61-65 has the same height as the bar for 46-50. B. False, because the bar for 61-65 is shorter than the bar for 46-50. C. True, because the sum of the heights of the first two bars in the graph is greater than the sum of the heights of the last two bars. D. True, because the bar for 61-65 is taller than the bar for 465046-50.

Studdy Solution
Compare the heights of the two bars. According to the image description, the bar for the \$61,000-\$65,000 range is shorter than the bar for the \$46,000-\$50,000 range.
Based on the comparison, the statement "More college graduates had starting salaries in the \$61,000-\$65,000 range than in the \$46,000-\$50,000 range" is:
False \text{False}
The correct answer is:
B. False, because the bar for 61-65 is shorter than the bar for 46-50. \boxed{\text{B. False, because the bar for 61-65 is shorter than the bar for 46-50.}}
