A survey asked first-year college students, “How many miles is this college from your permanent home?” Students had to choose from the following options: 5 or fewer, 6 to 10, 11 to 50, 51 to 100, 101 to 500, or more than 500. The side-by-side bar graph shows the percentage of students at public and private 4-year colleges who chose each option. Write a few sentences comparing the distributions of distance from home for students from private and public 4-year colleges who completed the survey.
