Enter Team/Individual Averages:
Each Team has no-replicates? Need Averages for both Diameter & Length – we will build a histogram of each!

Determine Overall Range: Excel Formulas!
=Max(C3:C32)
=Min(C3:C32)
Both Columns – diameter & Length

Excel Formula Too! Largest ‘Max’ to Smallest ‘Min’
Examine the Overall Range – Want 6 to 10 “Bins” covering this Range

Final Output:
Experiment with Smaller Bins sizes (more bins across Overall Range)
