(a) For comparison with other years and with other countries, we prefer
a histogram of the percents in each age class. A histogram of the percents in each age class is best to use for
comparison with other years and other countries because a histogram can only be made using percents.
O a histogram of the percents in each age class. A histogram of the percents in each age class is best to use for
comparison with other years and other countries because if different years and countries have very different
numbers of babies born, the distributions across age group will be difficult to compare because the scale will be
determined by the larger counts.
O a histogram of the counts in each age class. A histogram of the counts in each age class is best to use for comparison
with other years and other countries because if different years and countries have very different percentages of
babies born, the distributions across age group will be difficult to compare because the scale will be determined by
the larger percentages.
O a histogram of the counts in each age class. A histogram of the counts in each age class is best to use for comparison
with other years and other countries because a histogram can only be made using counts.

The number of firstborn children to mothers under 10 or over 50 years of age represent a negligible percentage of all first
births and are not included in the table.
