If the data below were put into a bar graph, which animal would have the lowest bar on the bar graph?

Number of Individuals in a Rocky Mountain Forest

\begin{tabular}{|l|r|}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Organism} & Population \\
\hline
Mountain lions & 150 \\
\hline
Bobcats & 300 \\
\hline
Coyotes & 10,000 \\
\hline
Deer & 25,000 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

A. Mountain lions
B. Bobcats
C. Coyotes
D. Deer



Answer :

To determine which animal would have the lowest bar on the bar graph representing their populations, we need to compare the population numbers provided for each animal.

Here is the data:

1. Mountain lions: 150
2. Bobcats: 300
3. Coyotes: 10,000
4. Deer: 25,000

We will look for the smallest number in the list:

- Mountain lions have a population of 150.
- Bobcats have a population of 300.
- Coyotes have a population of 10,000.
- Deer have a population of 25,000.

Comparing these numbers, we observe that the population of mountain lions (150) is the smallest. Therefore, on a bar graph, the bar representing mountain lions would be the lowest, indicating that mountain lions have the lowest population among the listed animals.

So, the animal with the lowest bar on the bar graph would be the mountain lions.
