How to turn a Frequency table into a Histogram By: Adam Batman and Micah Pistillo
What we will be showing you to do … into this Turning this...
Step 1 make a frequency table • First you have to decide on a topic (we chose how many pizza slices you can eat in one sitting) • Then ask a group of people your question • While they answer put the data into a table by putting all the answers on one side then the number of people on the other
After step 1 You should have this at step 1
Step 2 decide on an interval • An interval is an increment of numbers your data will go up by • It all depends on your data if you had 100 answers then your intervals could be by 10 • For ours we had up to 36 was our highest number so are intervals were by 6
Step 3 Make a new chart with intervals on one side and tallies on the other • This is pretty self explanatory but just in case… • You just want to make a normal chart and put each interval on one side (for example: 1-6, 7-12, 13-18.. so on) • Then count how many people answer in each interval and put that many tallies or just the number
Step 4 Pick a title for your graph • Your title should say something about your question and sometimes your group of people you asked • Ours was Number of pizza slices Mrs. Clark’s AA class can eat in one sitting
Step 5 Put your intervals on the horizontal axis • Again self explanatory • You want to make sure that your intervals are on the right axis because if you put them on the vertical axis • You would not be able to graph the intervals
Step 6 label your intervals • You should label your intervals on what your question was asking • For ours we had Number of Slices
Step 7 Pick a number to go up by on the vertical axis • First you have to pick a number that can evenly go into it • You do not want such a small number that your graph will be huge • But you don’t want the numbers to be to big , then your graph will be to small • It should go up to the biggest number people in a interval • For our graph we went up by 5 because we had a total number of 28 people answering a 23 being the biggest bar
Step 8 Label your vertical axis • This should be the people you surveyed or just frequency works • On our graph we had number of people
Step 9 Count up the tallies per interval and make a bar • Pretty explanatory • Just take your time when marking it between the intervals try and make it as close as possible
Step 10 Do for all others. Be sure bars touch one another • To be classified as a histogram the bars must touch
