Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The action of determining how many orders fall into certain ranges (1-10 cases, 11-20 cases, etc.) is referred to as grouping or binning the data. This helps to simplify the presentation of the data and identify patterns or trends in the ordering behavior of the spa. Variances, probability distributions, and sample populations are not relevant to this particular analysis.
