Histogram Basics for Students

The document provides instructions for creating a histogram from a set of student test score data ranging from 3 to 49. It explains that the data should first be grouped into bins with a consistent width, in this case bins of width 10. Then a frequency table is made tallying the number of scores in each bin. Finally, a histogram is drawn with the bins on the x-axis and the frequencies on the y-axis to visualize how the scores are distributed across the ranges.

Example 4: Take the following scores of 16 students in a 50-item test: 3,11,12,12,19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 29,

35,
36, 37,45, 49.
Solution:
First, we group
Scores of Students in 50-item Test the data into convenient
ranges, called bins. In this
7
6 example we are going to
5 group the data in bins with
Frequency

4 a width of 10 each.
3 Changing the size of the
2 bin will change the
1
appearance of the graph.
0
1 – 10 11 – 20 21 – 30 31 – 40 41 - 50 Next, we draw a frequency
Scores table with the data range
divided in the different
bins. Then we tally the
data, placing it in the correct bin.

Finally, we can draw the histogram by placing the bins on the horizontal axes and the frequency on
the vertical axes.
HISTOGRAM . It is a graph that shows frequencies of

data within equal intervals. The main difference between a normal bar graph and a histogram is that a bar
graph shows you the frequency of each element in a set of data, while a histogram shows you the frequencies
of a range of data. Unlike the bars on a bar graph, the bars on the histogram are next to each other without a
gap, unless there is an interval that has a frequency of zero.
To make a histogram: (1) Draw and label the horizontal axis and the vertical axis. The horizontal axis
shows the intervals; the vertical axis shows the frequencies. (2) Use the least and greatest values in the data
to choose a sensible scale for the frequencies. Use intervals of the same size
throughout the scale. (3) Label equal spaces along the horizontal axis. (4) Data Frequency
Draw bars without any gaps in between to show the frequency of each Range
interval. Do not omit any interval, even if an interval has a frequency of 0. 1 – 10 1
(5) Write a title for the graph. 11 – 20 4
21 – 30 6
31 – 40 3
41 - 50 2
