Question

If the shortest student is 1.43 m tall, and the tallest student is 1.85 m tall, what is the best range for the

height axis of the graph?
1 to 5 m
1.43 to 1.85 m
1.5 to 1.8 m
1.4 to 1.9 m

Answer 1

The answer is the last option.

You want a range that reasonably encompasses the max and min and can also be divided easily into smaller parts.
