Three different Imperial® plastics Rainbow Glitz™ Extreme Bouncers were tested for bounciness. The balls were dropped from a height of one meter. The height of the bounce in centimeters is recorded in the table on the right. This data can be copied and pasted from the online copy of this test.

Nota bene: Values equal to the bin upper limit go into that bin. That is, the bin upper limit includes data "up to and including the bin upper limit."

  1. __________ What is the level of measurement?
  2. __________ Find the minimum.
  3. __________ Find the maximum.
  4. __________ Find the range.
