Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Sort by the Sex column and copy the resultant Males and Female blocks to different worksheets.

For each of the single-sex worksheets, sort by wages

The "appropriate number of bins for histograms" depends on your data and what you are trying to display. This site has some good discussion on that: http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/74078.html

Once you figure out how you want to break down your data, use the FREQUENCY formula to calculate the results.
