hey,i doing my stats homework,and im on the second to last problem. this problem requires me to sketch a histogram,but i dont think they gave me enough info??? there's only enough info for one axis,and i dont understand what to do with the numbers. anyways heres the problems.

for the following population of N=6 scores: 5,0,9,3,8,5

a)sketch a histogram showing the population distribution.

im so confused on this..i dont even understand what these numbers mean
 
what it hink it is asking is how many times is each number repeated. so i made a graph with numbers 0,3,8,9 going to line 1. then number 5 going to line 2. however numbers 1,2,4,6,7 are 0 so i didnt draw a bar...and histograms are supposed to be touching where this one isnt.
 


Maybe you're not supposed to use any scores other than the six given ones.

The bars will touch, if you have bars only for those five numbers.

 
Hello, sportsstar469!

Well, here's my interpretation . . .

a) Sketch a histogram showing the population distribution
. . for the following scores: 5, 0, 9, 3, 8, 5

I think the histogram looks like this:

Code: 
                          *---*
                          |   |
      *---*       *---*   |   |       *---*---*
      |   |       |   |   |   |       |   |   |
    --*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*--
        0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9
