Histogram - A bar graph of a frequency distribution in which the widths of the bars are proportional to the classes into which the variable has been divided and the heights of the bars are proportional to the class frequencies.

A histogram is a basic graphing tool that displays the relative frequency or occurrence of continuous data values showing which values occur most and least frequently. A histogram illustrates the shape, centering, and spread of data distribution and indicates whether there are any outliers.

A graphic way to summarize data. Size is shown on the horizontal axis (in cells) and the frequency of each size is shown on the vertical axis as a bar graph. The length of the bars is proportional to the relative frequencies of the data falling into each cell and the width is the range of the cell. Data is variable measurements from a process.
