Distribution Evidence

• Stem and leaf plot shows data is normal

• Histogram is pareto because we have qualitative data

• Pie graph shows secondary characters appear more than main

• Dot plot shows the range

• Mean and median are equal

Summary• The data was spread out pretty evenly- no big gaps

between characters

• Data showed that secondary characters occurred more than

the main characters

• We originally expected that Mike or Sulley

would appear the most on the Cheez-Its

• Next time, we would choose food with less quantity.
