Enrique Bush · Answer 1

A histogram of the finishing times of the 38 participants in the duathlon will display the distribution of a sample.

Explanation:

Histogram works as a tool from which we can get a general view, or overview, of the distribution of a sample regarding a quantitative and continuous characteristic, therefore, histograms offer an idea about trends or patterns. Population distribution and the sampling distribution of sample means can be best analyzed through a distribution plot graph.
