Five hundred randomly selected middle-aged men and five hundred randomly selected young adult men were rated on a scale from1 to 10 on their physical flexibility, with 10 being the most flexible. Their ratings appear in the frequency table below. Forexample, 17 middle-aged men had a flexibility rating of 1.(a)Display these data graphically so that the flexibility of middle-aged men and young adult men can be easily compared.(b) Based on an examination of your graphical display, write a few sentences comparing the flexibility of middle-aged men with the flexibility of young adult men.。
