| 5 | 9.75 | 3 |
| 6 | 11.00 | 4 |
| 7 | 14.00 | 6 |
| 8 | 10.75 | 5 |
- a. McFadden wants you to graph the eight paints (xi, yi), i = 1, 2, …8. She has been concerned because customers have been waiting too long for their food, and this graph is intended to help her find possible causes of the problem.
- b. This is an example of what type of graph?
