2. Problem 15: Make a bar graph on the data in KINDS OF PETS STUDENTS HAVE



Question 16. Looking at the data, write a paragraph describing it. When i first saw this graph, i didn't surprise me at all...i mean yes, there are 303 fish but when you come to think about it, your not only going to keep one fish are you? You are probably going to keep around 4-5 and thats why fish is the mode in this graph. When i looked at the range which is 2-303. i was a bit surprised. 2 is a very small number especially compared to 303. So, i looked at the animal that was ranked 2, and its the rabbit. Okay, not many people would keep a rabbit but its just really surprising and interesting to see the range go from small to ( really ) big. In this graph theres no chance that you can have an outlier because the person who took the survey asked people what pets they had and then just took those kinds of pets and so there really is no way that there would be a pet with 0 owners.

Question 17. How many people do you think took this survey...why do you think so ? My estimate was 550 people. i got this estimate by first looking at the total and that was 841 pets. So then i thought, that everyone would have around 2 pets so i went to 420. But then when i thought about those fish and how many people probably have more than 1, i estimated 550.
