1. **Problem Statement:**
We are given a histogram showing the number of books read by students in a class last month, with frequency counts for intervals 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, and 21-25 books. We need to briefly describe the data and determine if there are any outliers.
2. **Understanding the Histogram:**
- The x-axis represents the number of books read in intervals.
- The y-axis represents the frequency (number of students) in each interval.
- Frequencies are approximately: 6 students (1-5 books), 12 students (6-10 books), 9 students (11-15 books), 0 students (16-20 books), and 1 student (21-25 books).
3. **Describing the Data:**
- Most students read between 6 and 15 books, with the highest frequency in the 6-10 range.
- There is a gap (zero frequency) in the 16-20 range.
- Only one student read between 21-25 books, which is much lower frequency compared to the main cluster.
4. **Checking for Outliers:**
- An outlier is a data point that is significantly different from others.
- Since the 21-25 interval has only 1 student and is separated by a gap from the main cluster, this can be considered an outlier.
5. **Summary:**
- The data is mostly concentrated between 1 and 15 books.
- The single student in the 21-25 range is an outlier.
6. **No explicit formula is needed here since this is a descriptive statistics problem.**
Final answer:
The histogram shows that most students read between 1 and 15 books, with the highest frequency in the 6-10 range. There is a clear outlier at the 21-25 books interval, as only one student falls in this range and there is a gap before it.
