Below is the data she collected. Wednesday's Speeds: 34,28,24,17,39,44,64,33,27,21,38,40,60,30,25,37,30,25,35,30 Sunday's Speeds: 18,27,34,37,49,55,63,61,48,30,27,17,17,15,26,46,25 1. Create a frequency table for each day. Make sure you look at both days when setting the intervals for your frequency table. Remember that you need to use common intervals for both days to tally the frequency. Wednesday's Frequency Table Speed Interval (mph) Sunday's Frequency Table Speed Interval (mph) Tally Tally Frequency Frequency 2. Create a histogram with appropriate labels for each day using the frequency tables you created in #1. 3. What do you notice about the two histograms? Consider the following questions: Are there any patterns in the speed distribution? Does one day look worse than the other?arrow_forwardPage of 11 ZOOM + 5.
