A charity needs to report its typical donations received. The following is a list of the donations from one week. A histogram is provided to display the data.
10, 10, 10, 10, 15,15,15,19, 20, 20, 20, 25, 25, 25, 30, 30, 55, 55
A graph titled Donations to Charity in Dollars. The x-axis is labeled 10 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, and 50 to 59. The y-axis is labeled Frequency. There is a shaded bar up to 8 above 10 to 19, up to 6 above 20 to 29, up to 2 above 30 to 39, and up to 2 above 50 to 59. There is no shaded bar above 40 to 49.
