For this discussion post, we are going to create a histogram for the following data set:

21, 20, 24, 20, 24, 29, 30, 36, 38, 38, 30, 39, 38, 30, 33, 48, 45, 43, 49, 47, 43, 50, 44, 43, 42, 48, 55, 56, 61, 62, 71, 81

Use this link to create your histogram: https://www.socscistatistics.com/descriptive/histograms/. Take the data set above, and copy/paste it into the empty box, then click generate.

Discussion Prompts

Answer the following questions in your initial post:

1. Post your created histogram. How would you describe the distribution? (Symmetric, skew left, skew right? Is it unimodal or bimodal?)
2. After you create your histogram, you can use the "Edit tool" and play around with the number of classes, and even create your own class range. After playing around with this, which number of classes do you think is the best to show our data set? Why did you choose this value? Supporting Resources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AndS0RLdxtk
