Histogram


Histograms display statistical information by using rectangles to show the frequency of data items in successive numerical intervals of equal size. In this example, each colored rectangle represents the scores received by students on their final. The red shows 3 students scoring anywhere from 0-20, while the purple rectangle shows that 9 students scored anywhere from 20-40. These maps are easy to use and can be very helpful when trying to explain statistics.
