Hi Phoebe, Try x - c(12, 33, 56, 67, 15, 66) names(x) - c('Richard','Minnie','Albert','Helen','Joe','Kingston') barplot(x, las = 1, space = 0) HTH, Jorge On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 2:51 PM, phoebe kong wrote: Hi, Can someone tell me how to draw a histogram for the following summary?

Phoebe, In addition to the barplot method below, you really can use plot() to draw what it sounds like you are looking for IF you have a categorical variable. To illustrate, try running the following code: x=sample(c(Richard, Minnie, Albert, Helen, Joe, Kingston), 50, replace=T)
