Enter the data:

Enter into L1: {2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 9, 10, 10, 10, 13}

  1. Press aÀ1.
  2. Press = to begin editing Plot1.
  3. Press = to turn on Plot1.
  4. Press the down arrow key to TYPE and press the right arrow key to 3rd option and press to select the histogram.
  5. Press the down arrow key ≥… a… 1 to enter L1 for "XLIST".
