Both plots are ways of visualizing data. Both are used in statistical analyses. But I would say they are not very alike. Histograms show the relative or absolute frequency of data in specified (usually equal) intervals. The range of values in a single data set can be seen on a histogram. A box shows how the median and range of various datasets vary over time (or some other variable).

What is common between a histogram and a box and whisker plot?
same question
What does a box plot tell you vs a histogram?
A box plot summarises data in five items of information: the minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and maximum. The histogram gives the probability density for each group of values.
What are the advantages of using the histogram instead of the box plot to represent the data?
A histogram can handle data when the bars are not all of the same width. This is particularly important for data which are skewed.
Is a histogram a special kind of stem and leaf plot?
no a histogram is a chart
What is the Matlab code to plot a histogram?
imhist(x); where 'x' is your data or image to find histogram.

What information is found in a histogram and not in a box-and-whiskers plot?
The answer will depend on the histogram. If the histogram consists of four intervals whose boundaries are the quartiles of the distribution, then it will contain exactly the same information.

What are the names of different graphs?
pie charts, bar graphs, scatter plots, line graph, histogram, line plot, bar graph, double bar graph, pictograph, and box and whisker plot.
What are the different names for graphs?
pie charts, bar graphs, scatter plots, line graph, histogram, line plot, bar graph, double bar graph, pictograph, and box and whisker plot.
What is the benefit that the stem and leaf plot has over histogram?
Eder sexy
What is an advantage of a stem plot over a histogram?
They can preserve individual data values.
What kind of graph is used for frequency data?
histogram and broken line plot
What are all the graphs you can think of?
* line graph * bar graph * circle graph * histogram * pictograph * scatter plot * line plot
