Activity
In this activity, you'll identify reasonable bin intervals for a histogram and which questions can be answered using the
histogram.
A manufacturer collected the following data on the fuel efficiency of its trucks in miles per gallon.
(20, 22, 21, 25, 15, 16, 18, 21, 9, 12, 14, 17, 11, 14, 26, 27, 11, 12, 20, 14)
The manufacturer also created a histogram to summarize the data.
