You should go back and read the help for barplot. Do you really want to plot
the whole dataset (say as a stacked barplot)? Then something like this should
do it.
barplot(as.matrix(dataset[,2:5]), col = c("lightblue", "mistyrose",
"lightcyan",
"lavender", "cornsilk"),
legend = dataset$Ages, ylim = c(0, 100))
Your values don't add to 100, so I'm not sure what you actually want. If this
isn't what you want then give us more information.
Hope this is helpful,
