Histogram

Bars that count how many values fall in each range.

The idea

A histogram groups values into ranges and draws a bar for how many fall in each, so you see the shape of the data: its centre, spread, skew and gaps. The choice of bin width changes the look, so try a few. It is where to start with any new set of numbers.

Where to use it

  • Ages, salaries and test scores
  • Response times and wait times
  • Finding gaps and outliers in data
  • A smooth curve laid over the bars

Templates

Start from any of these templates and swap in your own data.
