station
Give reasons for each​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

) We know we cannot use the histogram in the case of the number of letters for different areas in a postman’s bag because we cannot define the class interval for this data.

2) We can use histogram here because it will be easy to divide the data into class intervals.

As we know that the height of competitors is continuous data, so there are no gaps between the data.

3) We do not have approximate data, we won't use a histogram.

We do not know about the number of cassettes produced by companies.

4) We use the histogram in this case because it will be easy to divide the data into class intervals.

We also know that the train timings are continuous data, the histogram can be easily made.
