Question
I have not done math in so long.  Can you explain How to  make a histogram of data using intervals of 100 light-years?

Answer
Lynn~

Histograms are like bar graphs. So for the first bar it would run from 0 to 100, the 2nd bar would run from 100 to 200, etc. There must be more information as to how many light years you need to represent or else the data only goes to a certain number so make as many intervals (bars) sequentially that covers the data.
