Activity Summary Histograms

Histograms

pg 480

In this activity we had to learn how to draw histograms and understand them. Histograms are types of bars that display data from a frequency table. A histogram is a graph that shows data from a frequency, just like a bar graph. The height of the bar in the chart shows the frequency of the data. We also had to make a frequency table on a set of data the book gave us. I didn’t enjoy the activity because I got confused at the beginning how to draw a histogram. I had difficulty understanding the homework and questions the book provided me with. But now after several times of reading, I now understand histograms. I learned that for large data, a histogram is and easy way to see how often it is shown.
