In our example, the smallest value is 13 and the largest value is 41. The logical intervals for the data set would be 10-19 (tens), 20-29 (twenties), 30-39 (thirties), and 40-49 (forties). Notice, each data point is included within an interval (exhaustive intervals) and only within one interval (exclusive intervals).

window by pressing WINDOW . Set the horizontal axis to 10 < x < 50 (beginning and ending values for intervals described previously) with Xscl = 10 (width of interval) by pressing 1 0 ENTER 5 0 ENTER 1 0 ENTER . Set the vertical axis to 0 < y < 5 (from no data points to at most five within the interval) with Yscl = 1 (counting) by pressing 0 ENTER 5 ENTER 1 ENTER .
