When making a histogram:
Be sure to label the y-axis "frequency" and add a label to the x-axis that describes what the data represents
Each bucket must have the same range (i.e. if you go by 10's, all ranges are by 10's)
When making your histogram, be sure your buckets hold more than one number (a dot plot already goes by 1's)
Work with your group to create a histogram for the following data:
Age of people at a birthday party (20 values) 42, 5, 28, 34, 12, 56, 18, 25, 3, 47, 13, 44, 9, 39, 30, 22, 47, 2, 23, 8
Time it took to run a mile (minutes and seconds) (12 values) 6:45, 7:12, 8:03, 6:38, 7:50, 9:01, 8:27, 6:55, 7:18, 8:10, 9:30, 7:45
CYUQs: In your notebook, create a histogram for the two data sets (below). Check your work with the students around you and if you need help, get help. And if someone else needs help, give help.
