(a) Produce a histogram of the engine displacements, with the interval widths set to 1/2 liter and the first bin starting at 1.25 liter. Describe and interpret the histogram.
(b) Repeat (a), but with the width of the intervals set to 1 liter and the smallest interval beginning at 1 liter.
(c) Does the size of the interval width change your impression of the distribution? Explain briefly.
