A histogram is used to analyze a distribution of data. It look like a graph and can be used in many formats - the most popular may be in Photography, showing the distribution of shadows and light in a visual representation.
After you have your data, when you record it into the histogram, you make a graph just like a bar graph, only, this time the bars are touching! Does that make sense? Please tell me if i'm wrong!:)
A succession like history, completed in intervals....
Oh, dude, it's like this: a histogram is like a bar graph that shows the frequency of data within specific intervals, while a frequency polygon is a line graph that connects the midpoints of the intervals in a histogram. So, it's like the difference between drawing bars and connecting dots. Cool, right?
I hate math
You use the histogram for like an experiment,like a penny lab

A histogram is a type of graph where the bars are connected. Not separatted like a regular bar graph.

Skews are used on a graph. If the points or lines go to one side then they are skewed to the right or left. For example, If your lines or plots start low and go up right to the right, then it is skewed to the right (same as the left). Now, if the plots are everywhere then there is no skew.
From my understanding, a histogram is a form of graphical interpretation of data. This simply means a picture to reflect data. For example, if you have data like, 20 students in your class smokes while another 30 doesn't smoke, you can represent this into a histogram. ( a simple picture to depict the data ). In Statistics or Quantitative Methods, there are other forms of graphical interpretation of data like Pie Chart, Bar Chart or even Scatter Plots. Hope this helps. (cheong@bgymail.gd.cn) * Try this . A graphic way to summarize data. Size is shown on the horizontal axis (in cells) andI spend countless hours looking for answers as you did here. I found a source with accurate information and gives you what you are really looking for, plus a way to drive your projects with a mentor.
Histograms are like bar graphs but instead of being spaced, each bar is attached to the next. Histograms are ideal when you're trying to compare large amounts if data.

You have to find the shape, the center, and the range.Shape: If most of the numbers/variables or the box is near the left, the shape is skewed to the right. If the box is near the left whisker, the shape is skewed to the left. If the box looks like it is in the middle of the chart, the shape is approximately normal.Center: The center is the middle number of all of the data. You could say that it is the mean/average. Just use this: (Add all numbers) : (Number of variables)Range: To find the range of the distribution, you simply just Subtract the biggest number with the smallest number.Ex. 70-34=36
