The shape of the histogram is skewed right. The graph is what I expected to see due to the averages
5962 candies in a 2.17 ounce bag. The overall samples gathered by the class its close to each individual
sample.

Categorical data( also known as qualitative data) uses different groups or categories. It may not have
logical or sequencial numbering. In examples are: frequency charts, pie charts, and bar graphs. These are
examples that best represents data in a meaningful way.

Quantitative data is the number of Skittles in a bag. This is structured by logical sequencial order to
analyze the data set. The examples are: stem plots, box plots, and histograms.

Both graphs are a good way to analyze the data set, but if it is specific, then use quantitative.
