On your own sheet of paper, graph the set on a histogram, using six intervals in the display. Make sure to label your graph.

YOUR own paragraph

Answer 1

Find 6 intervals to use:

We can use 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24 and 25-29

Then count the numbers from the list in each group:

0-4 there are 5 numbers in this group

5-9 there are 3

10-14 there are 3

15-19 there are 5

20-24 there are 2

25-29 there are 2

Now create the histogram, with the vertical axis labeled from 0 to 5 and the horizontal axis labeled with your six groups:
