CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 353

An analyst is creating a chart that shows the frequencies of values of a variable bucketed into ranges. Which of the following is the most appropriate visual for the analyst to use?

Answer options

• A. Box plot
• B. Pie chart
• C. Histogram
• D. Gantt chart

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Histogram, because it effectively displays the distribution of numerical data by showing the frequency of values within specified ranges. Options A, B, and D do not appropriately represent data distribution in this way, as a Box plot summarizes data distribution with quartiles, a Pie chart shows proportions of a whole, and a Gantt chart is used for project scheduling.
