Answer

The zip codes are the numbers; they are not quantitative in nature. These are categorical in nature. This histogram is not showing an appropriate display of categorical data. The histogram of the Holes-R US staff member displayed doesn't take into account that some 5 digit numbers do not correspond to zip code, and the classes may not represent similar cities or town.
