a.     According to the histogram, where do most of the pixels in your high key image fall (left or right on the histogram)

Most of the pixels fall towards the centre right. 

b.     Are there any pixels in the high key image that would not print with detail?

There isn't any clipping in the highlights or shadows according to the histogram so it should print all the pixels.

c.     According to the histogram, where do most of the pixels in your low-key image fall (left or right on the histogram)

They fall mostly to the left of the histogram.

d.     Are there any pixels in the low-key image that would not print with detail?

Yes there are towards the bunny feet but very little the screen isn't picking up the blacks in the image.

e.     According to the histogram, where do most of the pixels in your varied tones image fall (left or right on the histogram)

They are spread throughout out the whole histogram but seem to bunch up more towards the left.

f.      Are there any pixels in the varied tones image that would not print with detail?

Yes there's clipping in the blacks specifically between the green and brown seamless which wouldn't print.

g.     Considering the information on the histogram, do you feel your camera is properly exposing the high key and low-key scenes? Explain your answer

For the low-key everything is well exposed considering the background is dark and the histogram is pushed towards the dark side. For the high-key I could have been a little more exposed because it's an all white scene so the pixels should have been more towards the right instead of the middle.

h.     Which histogram shows the most dynamic range?

I think the one with the variety has the most dynamic range, because everything is evenly spread from left to right.
