report about the wealthiest people in the Unites States. Do you have to be old to
be a billionaire? You can answer that question yourself by studying the
following data. Ages of billionaires profiled in Forbes are (in years):
75 59 66 65 46 60 61 66 59 67
63 65 93 60 52 77 58 57 71 45
44 41 50 50 43 58 53 49 80 70
71 64 58 51 58 54 50 90 41 46
80 81 73 63 66 73 72 43 46 33
49 76 61 33 53 64 55 73 74 83
76 44 70 59 66

Make a histogram using seven classes. Describe the shape of the distribution.

Features of Histogram
 A histogram provides quick apprehension of many kinds of information,
including the mean, minimum and maximum values of the data plotted on
the chart.
 It helps in finding the standard deviation.
 Also enables one to find class width, which represents the range from the
left to the right on the chart.
Interpretation from the graph
 Modal class is 61-70.
 Minimum age to be a billionaire is between 31-40.
 Maximum age to be a billionaire is between 91-100.
 The shape of the graph is negatively skewed.
