Customizing the bin size

It's possible to customize the age ranges in the histogram. Changing the bin width will allow us to reveal different insights. Bins that are too wide can hide important details about distribution while bins that are too narrow can cause a lot of noise and hide important information about the distribution as well. In this exercise, instead of having a count of trips for every age, we'll group ages using 5-year bins.
