7. We’ll increase the number of ranges, or bins, in the theme. On line 221 change the number of

bins from 5 to 8. (A bin is a range consisting of a maximum and minimum value and is used by
themes to group together like values for the purpose of shading.)

8. Next, we’ll change the distribution method of the ranges. The distribution method indicates how

the ranges are calculated. On line 221, change EqualCountPerRange to EqualRangeSize.
In the EqualRangeSize distribution method, each range has an equal number of values.
