A histogram titled “After-School Job Earnings” plots the frequency of earnings. The x-axis is labeled “Earnings” and ranges from 200 to 550 in increments of 50. The y-axis is labeled “Frequency” and ranges from 0 to 7 in increments of 1. The histogram shows seven bars of different heights representing the frequency of different ranges of earnings. The ranges and associated frequencies of earnings are as follows: 200 to 250: 6; 250 to 300: 7; 300 to 350: 5; 350 to 400: 3; 400 to 450: 2; 450 to 500: 1; 500 to 550: 1.
