Expand Your Knowledge: Decimal Data The following data represent tonnes of wheat harvested each year (1894–1925) from Plot 19 at the Rothamsted Agricultural Experiment Stations, England.
- (a) Multiply each data value by 100 to “clear” the decimals.
- (b) Use the standard procedures of this section to make a frequency table and histogram with your whole-number data. Use six classes.
- (c) Divide class limits, class boundaries, and class midpoints by 100 to get back to your original data values.
