Concept explainers
Check the bounce (ExH). Until 1992, members of Congress could write checks from accounts in an internal bank without incurring penalties for bounced checks (a bounced check is one that causes the account to be overdrawn).
According to a newspaper article listing the number of bounced checks for all members of the House of Representatives over a certain interval of time, the mean number of bounced checks was 47, and the median number was 3. Based on this information, make a rough sketch of the distribution of the number of bounced checks for all members of the House.
