This is sample data that will demonsrate the ability to divide the values into arbitrary groups. In this example, values will be divided into five groups: below 30k, below 40k, below 50k, below 60k and everything above. Notice that these are not percentages; we are able to specify exactly where the breakpoints are to occur.
