An business reviews data on the daily amount of calls it receives. Are the data discrete or continous?
Citi Bike is a privately owned public bicycle sharing system in New York City that has become increasingly more popular in the
past few years. Citi Bike is designed to provide an alternative version of public transportation. Trips taken on daily or 3-day
passes are limited to 30 minutes before extra fees are charged.
The following data indicate the trip times in minutes for a single Citi Bike in a daily period.
(a) Create a stem-and-leaf plot for the data. (Enter numbers from smallest to largest separated by spaces. Enter NONE for
stems with no values.)
