When interviewing applicants for server positions, the owner would like to include information on the amount of tip a server can expect to earn per check (or bill). A study of 500 recent checks indicated the server earned the following tips.

Amount of Tip ($)                                       Number

$0 to under $5                                              200

5 to under 10                                                100

10 to under 20                                              75

20 to under 50                                              75

50 or more                                                     50

Total                                                             500
