Agustin Drake · Answer 1

(D) Age and hours of work

Explanation:

Their financial age and their major are not numerical data. A histogram is an approximate representation of the distribution of numerical or categorical data.

Deja · Answer 2

D) Age and hours of work

Explanation:

A histogram is very similar to a bar graph but it doesn't have any blank spaces in between the options. In this case you can place the age data into the Y axis and the range of hours of work in the X axis.

You could also try to make histograms for financial aid and majors, but since the answers were not numerical, a pie chart would be more appropriate. E. g. a pie chart divided into 2 segments, those who receive aid and those who don't. Another pie chart with the distribution of majors.
