After getting outstanding grades in high school and scoring very high on his exams, Peter Kamau had his choice of colleges but wanted to follow his parents’ legacy and enrolled at Nairobi University. Peter soon learned that there is a big difference between getting high grades in high school and being a good student. Although he was recognized as being quite bright and very quick to pick up on things, he had never learned how to study. As a result, after slightly more than two years at Nairobi University, Peter was asked to try his luck at another university. To the chagrin of his parents, Peter decided that college was not for him. After short stints working for a computer manufacturer and as a manager at a convenience store, Peter landed an entry-level job working for EDS. EDS contracts to support information technology implementation and application for companies in Kenya and throughout the world. Peter received training in virtually all aspects of personal computers and local area networks and was assigned to work for a client Mombasa. Peter’s first assignment was to research the downtime on one of the client’s primary network servers. He was asked to study the downtime data for the month of April and to make a short presentation to the company’s management. The downtime data are in the Excel file Server Downtime. Although Peter is very good at solving computer problems, he has had no training or experience in analyzing data, so he is going to need some help.

Required Tasks:

Construct a frequency distribution showing the number of times during the month that the server was down for each downtime cause category.

Develop a bar chart that displays the data from the frequency distribution in part (a).

Develop a histogram that displays the downtime data.

Develop a pie chart that breaks down the percentage of total downtime that is attributed to each downtime cause during the month.

Prepare a short-written report that discusses the downtime data. Make sure you include the graphs and charts in the report
