You have just finished your golf course but there have been some complaints about the last
hole. The eighteenth hole at your golf course is a par 4. This means that a good golfer should
be able to play the hole in 4 strokes. The table below summarizes the scores of a sample of 200
golfers who recently played the hole and how many strokes they took to sink the ball.
a) Draw an appropriate labelled graph representing the given data.
b) Calculate the mean, median and mode of the number of strokes by hand.
c) Describe the distribution by looking at your graph. Explain your choice.
d) Should the eighteenth hole remain a par 4? Explain your reasoning.
