Looking at the plot, we can see that Retirees have the largest proportion, as indicated by the bar diagram.

Step by step solution

01

Given

Here we have

02

Explanation

The frequency against each observed X is defined by the bar plot.
It indicates which X frequency is the lowest and which X frequency is the highest.
As a result, we can quickly determine the highest and lowest occurrences of X.
We plotted each age group on the graph and found that retirees have the highest frequency.
We call the graph produced by this a bar diagram.
