A. Scatter diagrams
B. Pareto charts
C. Cause-and-effect diagrams
D. Histograms

Answer :

d. Histograms shows the range of values of measurement and the frequency with which each value occurs.

A histogram is a type of graph that provides a visual representation of the distribution of a dataset.

In a histogram:

  • The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents the range of values (bins or intervals) into which the data is divided.
  • The vertical axis (y-axis) represents the frequency of data points within each bin.

Histograms are especially useful for understanding the shape of the data distribution, such as whether it is skewed or symmetrical, and identifying any outliers.

Other options like scatter diagrams, Pareto charts, and cause-and-effect diagrams do not provide the same visualization of both the range of values and their frequencies in the same way histograms do.
