Manufacturing. A ceramics factory can fire eight large batches of pottery a day. Sometimes a few of the pieces break in the process. In order to understand the problem better, the factory records the number of broken pieces in each batch for three days and then creates the scatterplot shown.

a) Make a histogram showing the distribution of the number of broken pieces in the 24 batches of pottery examined.

b) Describe the distribution as shown in the histogram.
What feature of the problem is more apparent in the histogram than in the scatterplot?

c) What aspect of the company’s problem is more apparent in the scatterplot?
