Type of data histograms represent

Continuous data

What histogram bars represent

Frequency or count of data in that interval

Gaps between histogram bars?

No gaps - bars are adjacent

What histogram bar width shows

Interval or bin size

What is histogram bar area proportional to?

Frequency of data in that bin

Modal class in histogram

Bin with highest bar/frequency

Types of skewness histograms show

Left (negative), right (positive), or symmetric

Histograms vs bar charts: data type

Continuous vs categorical

Histograms vs bar charts: bar spacing

Bars touch vs gaps between bars

Formula: frequency density

FrequencyClass width\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Class width}}

Estimate from histogram area calculation

Width ×\times frequency density

Gaps in classes (00-1010, 1111-2020): treatment

Split difference evenly (0t<10.50 \leq t < 10.5, 10.5t<20.510.5 \leq t < 20.5)

Open-ended class, no info: width treatment

Make final class double width of previous class
