What is a Histogram?
Histograms are specialized bar charts designed to show the distribution of continuous numerical data. Unlike regular bar charts that display categorical data, histograms divide the data range into bins and show how many values fall into each bin. This visualization immediately reveals whether data is normally distributed, skewed, bimodal, or has other distributional characteristics.
Histograms are indispensable in statistics, quality control, and data science. They help identify outliers, understand variability, and assess normality assumptions. Common applications include analyzing customer age distribution, exam score distributions, product weight variations, and process capability analysis. The shape of a histogram tells a powerful story about your data's underlying characteristics.
