For example, you might have the number of males in, say, the 70-75 year age range on the left side of the graph, and females from 70-75 on the right side of the graph at the same vertical point.

I'll call the first list "alist" then an equal sign, and enumerate the list within curly brackets, so I'll type a left curly bracket, and then I'll have three values: 14000 comma, 2402, so two thousand four oh two, comma, 5791 that's the end of the list so I'll…
