What is a histogram and how is it used?

Answer 1

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 .
