Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "real lower limit" of an interval in a histogram is the lowest continuous value that would be rounded up into that interval. This is important because it ensures that the data in the histogram is accurate and does not omit any values that fall within the interval. A and B are incorrect because they do not take into account the possibility of non-integer values being included in the interval. D is incorrect because interval width is not relevant to determining the "real lower limit" of the interval.
