Histograms
A histogram is a type of bar graph used to display numerical data that has been organized into equal intervals. The bars should touch the adjacent bars but not overlaps. These intervals allow you to see the frequency distribution of the data, or how many pieces of data are in each interval.
Example:
The frequency table shows the admission costs of various theme parks. Display the data in a histogram.
