The best scale and interval to adopt for the amount of Fluoride axis would be 0 to 8 with intervals of 0.2

To make a decision on the scale and interval to adopt when making a graph ;

  • We need to examine the the range of the values in the distribution.

  • Data for the amount of Fluoride ranges from 0.4 to 7.1

  • The number of values in the distribution is 7.

  • Lower scale value must be below the minimum Fluoride value preferably 0

  • Maximum scale value must be above the maximum Fluoride value.

  • Hence an interval of 0 to 8 would suit the axis.

  • The interval is the value of each unit represented on the graph.

  • A scale of 4 would be too large to depict all the 7 values with an interval of 8 units

  • Hence, the most reasonable scale from the option would be 0.2 as it would allow the points to be properly spaced on the graph.
