Definitions
In statistics, a histogram is a graphical display of tabulated frequencies. A histogram is the graphical version of a table that shows what proportion of cases fall into each of several or many specified categories. The histogram differs from a bar chart in that it is the area of the bar that denotes the value, not the height, a crucial distinction when the categories are not of uniform width (Lancaster, 1974). The categories are usually specified as non-overlapping intervals of some variable. The categories (bars) must be adjacent.

Example
class j | Salary x i | absolute frequency n j | relative frequency | class width d j |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 800 <= x < 1000 | 150 | 0,25 | 200 |
2 | 1000 <= x < 2000 | 150 | 0,25 | 1000 |
3 | 2000 <= x <= 3500 | 300 | 0,50 | 1500 |
Σ 600 | Σ 1,00 |
