Bar Graph • A bar graph uses vertical or horizontal bars to display numerical information. • Bar graphs can be used to compare amounts. • Choose an appropriate scale (with regular intervals). • The bars should have the same width.
Histogram • A histogram is a bar graph that shows the frequency of each item. Histograms combine data into equal-sized intervals. • There are no spaces between the bars on the histogram.
Line Graph • A line graph uses a series of line segments to show changes in data over time. • Plot a point for each data item, and then connect the dots with straight line segments.
