If the bar for the range 5-9 books is the tallest, what does this tell you about the number of books read by students over the summer? A histogram shows the ages of people at a movie theater. The x-axis represents age ranges, and the y-axis represents the number of people. If the bar for the range 10-19 years old is the shortest, what does this tell you about the ages of people at the movie theater?
