Students in a fitness class each completed a one-mile walk or run. The list shows the time it took each person to complete the mile. Each time is rounded to the nearest half-minute. 5.5, 6, 7, 10, 7.5, 8, 9.5, 9, 8.5, 8, 7, 7.5, 6, 6.5, 5.5 Which statements are true about a histogram with one-minute increments representing the data? Check all that apply. A histogram will show that the mean time is approximately equal to the median time of 7.5 minutes. The histogram will have a shape that is left-skewed. The histogram will show that the mean time is greater than the median time of 7.4 minutes. The shape of the histogram can be approximated with a normal curve. The histogram will show that most of the data is centered between 6 minutes and 9 minutes.

A histogram will show that the mean time is approximately equal to the median time of 7.5 minutes.

>Solving for the mean which is 7.43 and the median which is 7.5, it is safe to assume that the two are approximately equal.

The histogram will have a shape that is left-skewed.

> When the mean is less than the median, the histogram will be skewed to the left.

The histogram will show that most of the data is centered between 6 minutes and 9 minutes.

>11 out of 15 data are found to be in between 6 minutes and 9 minutes.
