Description

A Histogram visualises the distribution of data over a continuous interval. Each bar in a histogram represents the tabulated frequency at each interval/bin.

Histograms help give an estimate as to where values are concentrated, what the extremes are and whether there are any gaps or unusual values. They are also useful for giving a rough view of the probability distribution.
