There has been some speculation that the class size by year, would you say there is evidence for this claim? Among the 246 inductees, the distribution of players by position is heavily skewed in favor of pitchers Based on the following frequency table, which graph do you think would best illustrate this data?

3)

PI would be best to show relative composition

4)
