Round 6.7086 to the nearest thousandth
Bingel [31]

\text {Hello! Let's solve this Problem!}

\text {To round to the nearest thousandth you must underline the thousandth place}\text {(which is 8), point an arrow to 6 (in the ten-thousandth place)}

\text {If the number is 5 or more you raise the score. Meaning you add 1 to the}\text {thousandth place. If the number is 4 or lower you keep the number the same.}

\text {6 is greater than 5. So this means you add 1 to 8 and it becomes 9. Every}\text {number behind it becomes 0.}

\text {Your Answer Would Be:}

\huge\boxed {\text {6.7090 or 6.709}}

\text {Best of Luck!}

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

To create a histogram of the given data set, we first must check for the frequency of each value.

6, 3, 8, 8, 6, 6, 8, 2, 5, 2, 5, 10, 3, 5

2 - 2

3 - 2

5 - 3

6 - 3

8 - 3

10 - 1

Now that we have the frequencies of each, we need to add them to each range.

0 - 2 : 2

3 - 5 : 5

6 - 8 : 6

9 - 11 : 1

Refer to the image for the histogram.
