Task 1
For 7 days keep track of the number of pieces of mail you receive at your home.
a. Put your data into a frequency table having intervals of 0–4, 5–9, 10–14, and 15–19.
b. Use the frequency table to create a histogram of the data.
c. Do you notice any patterns in the histogram?
a. Frequency table:
0-4: 3
5-9: 2
10-14: 1
15-19: 1
b. Histogram:

0-4 5-9 10-14 15-19
c. From the histogram, it can be seen that the majority of days had between 0-4 pieces of mail received, with a decrease in the number of days as the amount of mail received increased. This pattern suggests that receiving fewer pieces of mail is more common than receiving a larger amount of mail in a given week.
