2. Describe two classroom situations, one for which it would be beneficial to use a pre-collected data set and one for which students should be collecting data themselves. Provide a rationale for the benefits in each situation.======

=
3. Using the attribute CITY produce a dot plot, box plot and histogram and place them side by side in the white space. Compare the representations you created. What characteristics of the distribution are more noticable or are hidden in each of the representations? What is a typical range of City mpg for these autos?======

=
9. Right click and remove the engine type from the graph. Then drag the engine type attribute to the y-axis. What similarities and differences do you notice about the distributions of City mpg for each of the engine types?======
