5. An earthworm farmer examined two containers of a certain species of earthworm so that he could learn about their lengths. He measured 25 earthworms in each container and recorded their lengths in millimeters. Here are histograms of the lengths for each container A 7 6 5 4 3 2 B 10 10 8 10 4 2 0 0 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 length in millimeters 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 length in millimeters 50 55 60 65 1 a. Which container tends to have longer worms? b. For which container would 15 millimeters be a reasonable description of a typical length of the worms in the container? c. How might you estimate the average length of a worm in container A? 5. An earthworm farmer examined two containers of a certain species of earthworm so that he could learn about their lengths.
