In a histogram, the class 10≤x<18 10\leq x<18\,10≤x<18 has height 2.5 and represents 20 observations. The class 18≤x<30 18\leq x<30\,18≤x<30 represents 18 observations.
Explain why histogram area, rather than height, represents frequency.
Find the height of the second bar on the same frequency-density scale.
