A histogram is titled Miles Per Week Driven to Work. The intervals for the horizontal axis are 10 to 15, 16 to 20, 21 to 25, 26 to 30, 31 to 35, 36 to 40, 41 to 45, 46 to 50, 51 to 55, 56 to 60, and 61 to 65. The vertical axis is labeled Frequency from 0 to 9 with a tick mark for each 1 unit. The heights of the bars are 8, 3, 6, 0, 6, 0, 3, 1, 5, 2, and 2.

An office manager used a histogram to represent the miles per week the staff drives to work. She wants to be able to compare the different time intervals that people spend driving and to determine if there is an opportunity for some office car pools. Why is a histogram the best choice for this situation?
