A histogram of the data using narrow class widths. Next you collect a very large number of adult
Women's heights and again draw a histogram using narrow classes. How would you expect the two
Histograms to compare?

• B)Both should have similar shapes, approximating normal distributions.
• C)The heights histogram should be much taller since the heights will be much larger than the lengths of the seed pods.
• D)There is not enough information given to answer the question.
