Work Step by Step

There can be many ways to think about this question; I'll present one. Let the numbers 0 to 99 represent the number of people waiting in line on a particular day. Let the sample size of 30 represent the number of days we recorded the number of people in the line. The data generated are: 26 15 17 20 17 3 84 5 85 90 23 55 49 79 54 5 73 27 66 52 27 74 5 19 53 14 96 11 35 72 Here the first value represents the number of people standing in line on day one and so on. The numbers produced by the applet don't seem reasonable.
