She says the temperature in her city is pretty consistent. How could she redraw the graph so that the daily temperature doesn’t see quite so consistent?

Answer 1

We are given the high temperature in her city for 7 days in a row.

First day it is 70 degrees.

Second day it is 78 degrees.

Third day it is 85 degrees.

Fourth day it is 73 degrees.

Fifth day it is 65 degrees.

Sixth day it is 78 degrees.

Seventh day it is 89 degrees.

We can make a a histrogram to show that temperature doesn’t see quite so consistent.
