ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 3:
The data about the response of 30 randomly selected students is given.
We have to find the following.
- The frequency histogram and shape of the data.
- Based on the shape of the histogram, we have to determine mean or median is more.
- We have to determine mean and the median of the number of tickets issued.
- We have to determine the mode of the number of tickets issued.
