Also:

In an 1889 study in Saxony, 6115 families with 12 children were classified according to the number of male children in each family. The following table shows the results:

Number of Male Children Frequency
0 7
1 45
2 181
3 478
4 829
5 1112
6 1343
7 1033
8 670
9 286
10 104
11 24
12 3

Create a histogram of this data. Note: Since the number of male children in a family is a discrete variable, use intervals ending half way between integers. That is, use intervals of length 1, starting at -0.5 and ending at 12.5.
