Instructions:
Prepare one slide that graphically best presents this data and make appropriate observations. It would be interesting to try and show if the number of cancer patients are going up year after year and how the distribution by age range is also changing, all in one graphical representation. A stacked bar chart or area chart might serve this purpose well.
