Histogram
what is a histogram? The visual representation that charts the frequency distribution of variables in a data set. A frequency distribution shows the regularity of an occurrence of a value in a set of data. Often confused with a bar chart, although there are certain defining characteristics of differentiation.
- The x-axis consists of equal width bars without space in between, known as bins or buckets that represent a range of classes.
- x axis is the class interval and is labelled with a number rather than a description.
- The y axis represents the frequency of occurrence of a value.
- Bar graphs represents data that is discrete or categorical in nature
Uses In statistics to show the frequency of a specific value within a certain range. Used to analyse large amounts of data easily to detect trends and patterns.
