Now, the data needs to be organized. Arrange the data in numerical order from smallest to largest and label each data entry starting with 1 at the smallest value.

ENTRY # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36
DATA ENTRY 46 49 53 56 56 57 58 60 60 63 63 64 64 65 66 67 67 67 68 70 71 71 72 73 73 74 78 78 79 80 81 83 85 88 90 90
