Bin and frequency does not give any information as to what is being represented by the numerical data in the histogram (hint: Electricity cost (in $) and one-bedroom apartments). As Professor Ellis stated in the lectures‚ graphs should be able to stand alone. “A Graph should sing its song!” Bin ranges are correct. However‚ the largest percentage does not lie between 139‚ 179. Both are upper boundaries. Following this logic would mean
