SCENARIO 2-19-B You are the quality control manager of a water bottles company. One of the biggest complaints in the past years has been the breakage and, hence, the concern on the durability of the connector between the lid and the bottle which many users use as a handle for the bottles. To collect evidence before implementing any modification to the production process, your department has subjected 50 water bottles to a durability test and the following data on the number of times the handles have been used to lift the bottles before they break are contained in the file Scenario2-19-DataB.XLSX. 493 506 515 491 500 505 517 510 506 503 503 491 495 496 496 505 493 486 504 483 514 494 497 501 493 490 510 494 494 495 494 486 495 506 506 507 502 498 510 501 500 505 492 486 501 496 501 521 510 498 -Referring to Scenario 2-19-B, construct a histogram using "480 but less than 487" as the first class.

The Guidelines for Developing Visualizations recommend labeling all axes only when it is possible.

The Guidelines for Developing Visualizations recommend avoiding uncommon chart type such as doughnut, radar, cone and pyramid charts.

A _______ is a summary table in which numerical data are tallied into class intervals or categories.

In order to compare one large set of numerical data to another, a ________ distribution must be developed from the frequency distribution.

SCENARIO 2-19-A You are the quality control manager of a water bottles company.
