Math Problem Statement
Data was collected for 40 randomly selected trees growing in the median strip of a busy freeway. The height of each tree (in inches) was recorded. Data was recorded to the nearest whole inch. The data is summarized in the histogram below.

Based on this histogram, determing the minimum and maximum possible tree heights for the recorded data. Note: Each class contains its lower class boundary, but not its upper class boundary.
Minimum tree height = Correct inches Maximum tree height = inches
