http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3389613/Life_Expectancies_2008.csv Life_Expectancies_2008.csv I am trying to plot a histogram base on the file i uploaded above. I am facing a trouble in sorting out the frequency of the life expectancies. I wanted to plot a graph of life expectancies at birth versus frequency,but i have no idea how to change the locations into frequencies taking the range of life expectancies at birth from 40 to 90. I tried using table(Life.Expectancies.at.Birth) to show the frequencies of each number and I do not know how to continue. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Plotting-graph-problem-tp3389613p3389613.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You should probably tell us which part of
a<-
read.csv("http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3389613/Life_Expectancies_2008.csv")
hist(a)
doesn't do what you expect.
(Though often when people say "histogram" they want something else -
what's with that anyhow?)
