here I am, pretending I remember what a histogram is
Alright, you guys have LOTS of tabs open and it makes feel extremely better. I did remove one outlier from this data – someone who claims to have almost 1,400 tabs open – because it was throwing my graph off. And I won’t be taking comments on if this was the right graph to use or even if I did it correctly! That’s not for me to know.
Things I learned from this data collection:
⭐ Safari mobile has a 500 tab limit
⭐ I have not fully recovered from forgetting what a box and whisker plot was on my PSAT in 10th grade
