Histograms for the distributions of oxygen abundances [﹩12+\mathrm{log}\,( \mathrm{O}\,/ \mathrm{H}\,) ﹩] from Ferrarese et al. (2000b) for the galaxies with Cepheid distances that calibrate Type Ia supernovae, the Tully‐Fisher relation, the fundamental plane, surface brightness fluctuations, and Type IIa supernovae. The metallicity of the LMC in these units is 8.50 dex. The total distribution is also shown. In the mean, most of the Cepheid fields observed have higher abundances than the LMC.
