The management at Fitness Fanatics Gym & Health Club has recently proposed four new levels of memberships: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. They surveyed current members in order to anticipate have they might respond to this change in membership plans. The results indicating their preferred level of membership were as follows:
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
60
40
80
120
