Histogram



A histogram is a graphical display of tabulated frequencies, shown as bars. It shows what proportion of cases fall into each of several categories. A histogram differs from a bar chart in that it is the area of the bar that denotes the value, not the height as in bar charts, a crucial distinction when the categories are not of uniform width. The example above is an example of a histogram shown as a bar graph, showing information about how many students scored certain scores on their final exam.
