A bowling alley owner wants to see the overall range and spread of the number of customers she had each Friday night during the past year. She does not need to see individual values, but wants to get a sense of how consistent or inconsistent her business is on Friday nights. Which type of data display would be most appropriate?
Box and whisker plot
Circle graph
Histogram
Stem and leaf plot

What the hell is a box and whisker plot? Well I have no clue what any of them are so I'd say a circle graph.

I suggest a histogram. This allows the owner to see a visual overview of how her business is doing on an hour by hour basis.
A stem and leaf plot is a little hard to read. It is useful if the owner needs to do an in depth analysis of the data. However, the problem reads that "She does not need to see individual values". The owner wants to get an overview of how the business is doing. A stem and leaf plot does a poor job of this.
A box and whisker plot is useful if the owner wants to analyze quartiles and two variables. However that is not appropriate for the purpose given in the problem.
A circle graph is useful if the owner wants to parts of a whole. However, that is not appropriate for this application.

Its a histogram because a stem and leaf would give the individual values, the circle graph is not necessary, the box and whisker is also not necessary so the histogram is right.

i would think box and whisker plot, as it doesn't give specific values just the averages like the mean and UQ and LQ. i know it is definitely not stem and leaf, because that gives every value.

to respond to a share project, you ought to first substitute the p.c. right into a decimal. So, if you're multiplying by utilising sixty 2%, you may substitute that to .sixty 2. Then purely multiply the large style by utilising .sixty 2. case in factor. sixty 2% of fifty. you may multiply 50 circumstances .sixty 2. (be sure you multiply as popular, then flow the decimal over 2 places.) you may get 31.0 as your answer. understand that in a note project, "of" many times refers to multiplication.
