You decide to survey a bunch of mallard duck nests around a pond to determine the most common
number of eggs per nest. Using the following data, make a frequency plot (Hint: this should be a bar
graph). Be sure to label your axes.
19) Now that you have surveyed all of the nests around the pond, what was the most common
number of eggs per nest? _____________
