This assignment is related to your Chapter 8 (Salkind) material. Make sure you save a copy of your answers to all the questions from this assignment to use in your discussion this week! I suggest taking a picture of your answers or copy and pasting them into a word document.

Imagine you’ve just started a small business, and you just launched your social media page for your business. You’re curious about how many “likes” other similar new small businesses get on their posts, so you collect data from 19 similar new businesses on the number of likes they received on their most recent post and you found the following answers:

Question 1

Construct a line plot of the data. Use number of likes received as your x axis and frequency (number of businesses with each value) as your Y axis. Create your line plot and then upload it here (if you create it on your computer, save and upload the file; if you create it with pen and paper, take a photo and upload that). If you are using an iPhone you will need to convert the picture to a .jpeg format, we will NOT be able to read images submitted in the .HEIC format.

You want to know what percentage of the new business population gets more likes than you (that is, what percentage of the population gets 368 likes or more (Hint: use the z table in the appendix of your textbook to answer this question).
