# histogram :: (Tabletable-name, Stringlabels, Stringcolumn-name, Numberbin-size) -> Image

Make a histogram for the "weeks" column in the animals-table, using a bin size of 10 and the "name" column for your labels.

1 How many animals took between 0 and 10 weeks to be adopted?

2 How many animals took between 10 and 20 weeks to be adopted?

Try some other bin sizes (be sure to experiment with bigger and smaller bins!)

3 What shape emerges?

4 What bin size gives you the best picture of the distribution? (Note: ideally your histogram should have between 5 and 10 bars)

5 Are there any outliers? If so, are they high or low?

6 How many animals took between 0 and 5 weeks to be adopted?

7 How many animals took between 5 and 10 weeks to be adopted?

8 What else do you Notice? What do you Wonder?

9 What was a typical time to adoption?
