Concepts of Data Interpretation for SSC CGL
HISTOGRAM:
- A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data using bars of different heights.
- To construct a histogram, a section of the number line is divided into equal parts, called bins, Range or Class Interval.
- note that for a histogram, all the bins must be of the same width.
- The horizontal axis is continuous like a number line.
- Histograms are a great way to show results of continuous data, such as weight, height, time, etc.
 | It is similar to a Bar Chart, but a histogram groups numbers into ranges And you decide what ranges to use! |
But when the data is in categories (such as Country or Favorite Movie), we should use a Bar Chart.
