14. Refer to the accompanying data set and use the 30 screw lengths to construct a frequency distribution. Begin with a lower class limit of 0.470 in, and use a class width of 0.010 in. The screws were labeled as having a length of 1 divided by 2 in. Does the frequency distribution appear to be consistent with the label? Why or why not?
