Feather Sales 51108B
1. The problem asks us to create a histogram using the number of feathers Patsy sold in each of the last eight months: 19, 13, 8, 4, 7, 14, 7, 9.
2. A histogram groups data into intervals (bins) and shows the frequency of data points in each bin.
3. First, identify the range of the data: minimum is 4, maximum is 19.
4. Choose bins to cover this range. For example, bins of width 5: 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19.
5. Count how many data points fall into each bin:
- 0-4: 1 (4)
- 5-9: 4 (8,7,7,9)
- 10-14: 2 (13,14)
- 15-19: 1 (19)
6. The histogram frequencies are:
- Bin 0-4: 1
- Bin 5-9: 4
- Bin 10-14: 2
- Bin 15-19: 1
7. This histogram visually represents the distribution of feathers sold over the months.
