Question

a data set goes from 0 lbs to 75 lbs. there are 15 lines on the axis of the graph. how should the lines of the graph be labeled? every 6 pounds every 4 pounds every 5 pounds

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the interval

The range of the data set is \(75 - 0=75\) lbs. There are \(15\) lines on the axis. The interval \(i=\frac{75}{15 - 1}\approx5.36\) (but we can also think of it as dividing the range into equal - sized parts. If we consider the number of intervals between the \(15\) lines is \(14\), but another way is to find a number that \(75\) is divisible by. Since \(75\div5 = 15\)

Answer:

Every 5 pounds
