How to determine scale
• Scale is determined by your highest & lowest number.
• In this case your scale would be from 154-208.

How to determine Intervals
• The interval is decided by your scale.
• In this case your scale would be from 154-208 and you want the scale to fit the graph.
• The best interval would be to go by 50’s.
