A histogram is a bar graph that shows the frequency of data within equal intervals. There is no space between the bars in a histogram. Follow these steps to make a histogram: Step 1: Make a frequency table of the data. Be sure to use equal intervals. Step 2: Choose an appropriate scale and interval for the vertical axis. The greatest value on the scale should be at least as great as the greatest frequency. Step 3: Draw a bar graph for each interval. The height of the bar is the frequency for that interval. Bars must touch but not overlap. Step 4: Label the axes and give the graph a title. PUT THESE STEPS IN YOUR STUDY GUIDE!
