Results
A) A dot plot fits our data best
because it is comparing a number
of students and a certain artist. We
were comparing the number of
votes.
B) There are no outliers because the
limit is -3.5 and 8.5. None of these
votes exceed these numbers.

Our Community
Next time, our group should have better time management to make sure everything is
done correctly.

In the future we could research favorite albums or songs, if we would continue to focus
on music.

In order to fix the problem we should have organized our time better in and out of
class so this would have been finished earlier.

Reflection
Our group got our information fast, which was one of our strengths.

Next time we should divide the work evenly between everyone in the group.

We learned that music is very popular nowadays and that our results were spread out
well.
