10. A community college offers classes six days a week: 5.8
Monday through Saturday. Maria conducted a study
of the students in her classes to determine how many
days per week the students who are in her classes
come to campus for classes. In each of her five classes
she randomly selected 10 students and asked them
how many days they come to campus for classes. Each
of her classes are the same size. The results of her
