Advertisers need to know which age groups are likely to see their ads. Purchasers of 120 copies of Cosmopolitan are shown by age group.
(a) Make a bar chart and describe it.
(b) Calculate expected frequencies for each class.

Paul Peter and Jerry C. Olson, Consumer Behavior and Marketing Strategy, 9th ed. [McGraw-Hill, 2004], p. 300.)
