5-14
15-24
25-34
etc...

Put them all in their buckets.

So would my last one be 75-84? @tkhunny

anonymous · Answer

And then I just set it up as a table and put how many times a number is in those intervals?
5-14         5
15-24       8
25-34       8
35-44       4
45-54       2      
55-64       1
65-74       0
75-84       2
