Household size in Mauritius

Use the diagram to illustrate the definition:

The probability that a single sampled value is x is the proportion of times this value occurs in the population.

Since the data set is a census, it can be treated as the complete population. Dual axes display both the frequencies and proportions of households of the different sizes.

Click any bar to display the probability that a random household will be of that size.

The bar chart shows the sizes of all households in Mauritius in its 2000 census.
