Carbon dioxide emissions Burning fuels in power plants and motor vehicles emits carbon
Chapter 1, Problem 54(choose chapter or problem)
Burning fuels in power plants and motor vehicles emits carbon dioxide (\(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)), which contributes to global warming. The table below displays \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) emissions per person from countries with populations of at least 20 million.
(a) Make a histogram of the data using classes of width 2, starting at 0.
(b) Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution. Which countries are outliers?
