⦁ The manager of Jerry’s Barbershop recently asked 25 customers to punch in a time card when first arrive at the shop and to punch out right after they paid for their haircut and used the data on the cards to measure how long (in minutes) it took Jerry and his barbers to cut hair. The summary of the times it took Jerry and his barbers to cut hair is summarized below. Jerry also recorded the amount of money spent by each of the 25 customers as well as the customer’s stage of life (Child, Teen, or Adult).
