You have made a very accurate box plot, stem n leaf plot, line plot and histogram of the roller coaster data, but I really only have enough time to present one graph to our supervisor. Please use your best judgment in choosing the graph for Mrs. Complains-a lot. The graph you choose must display enough of the data to a good picture of what the data set is telling us about the roller coasters in the USA. It must also be in an easy to read format as Mrs. Complains-A lot is very picky about displaying data. Use the checklist below to help make your decision:

Now, that you have

thought about each graph, decide on

which one you will present to the
