Histogram



A histogram is a graphical representation of frequency within a distribution of data. Histograms are effective when talking about the totality of something to find out where frequencies may occur. Histograms are important to use to find out patterns that may exist and expose outliers that may have previously been difficult to pinpoint. The image shown above is an example of a histogram that exposes that the most frequent amount of Greek tragedies is between 7,000 words and 8,000 words.
