The histogram shows the number of English faculty members based on their years of service. The interval of interest, representing less than 5 years of service, is the first bar.

- From the histogram, the first bar (years 0 to 4.9) shows **7 faculty members**.
- To find the total number of faculty members, we sum up the heights of all the bars.

Let's count the total:

- 0 to 4.9 years: 7
- 5 to 9.9 years: 6
- 10 to 14.9 years: 4
- 15 to 19.9 years: 2
- 20 to 24.9 years: 8
- 25 to 29.9 years: 10
- 30 to 34.9 years: 7
- 35 to 39.9 years: 6

Total number of faculty members = 7 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 10 + 7 + 6 = **50**

Now, we calculate the percentage of faculty members with less than 5 years of service:
\[
\frac{7}{50} \times 100 = 14\%
\]

So, **14%** of the department faculty have less than 5 years of service.
