Using R- trying to plot frequency table

Question

(1) i have a frequncy table called resdf that looks like this- here is the table

(2)this is the line of code i tried using awards_given<-hist(resdf$Year,resdf$Freq,type="h",breaks=seq(0,88,by=10))

(3) i get this error

Error in hist.default(resdf$Year, resdf$Freq, type = "h", breaks = seq(0,  : 
  some 'x' not counted; maybe 'breaks' do not span range of 'x'

You can't plot 2 variables using ``hist()``. – user438383 Aug 10 '22 at 16:34 — user438383, Aug 10 '22 at 16:34

Histogram only takes a vector as input. You had put two in. I guess this is what you want:

hist(resdf$Freq)

Maybe your "Freq" column is not numeric? I have no idea on your data... btw, you can try to coerce the variable to numeric : hist(as.numeric(resdf$Freq)) – AlpacaKing Aug 11 '22 at 11:08
