Could you explain what is meant by reliability in research?

Reliability does not really apply to research per se. Rather, it applies to the operational definition of a variable. A reliable operational definition is one in which, in prior work, the same results were obtained under the same conditions when using that particular operational definition. - RICHARD CATRAMBONE

How do you change the values on the x-axis for a histogram? I want it to show the relavent years (1990-1999), but it currently uses 0-2000.
When plotting two separate pieces of data (savings vs. exchange rates for example), is there a way to make the two y-axises different? In this case, would a histogram be relavent?

I don't think that you can make the two y axes different on the SAME plot, but you can do subplots. For other axis changes, see the Matplot manual that's posted here on the website. Mark Guzdial

NO, if graphs don't make sense for your project (e.g., a multiple regression with many predictors), you don't have to have a graph. Mark Guzdial

My histogram is generating a x-axis that goes from 0.0 to 1.1 instead of the values from my data any idea why?

Nope – my guess is that you're not sending the histogram the data that you THINK you're sending the histogram. Mark Guzdial
