A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of data. The histogram is represented by a set of rectangles, adjacent to each other, where each bar represent a kind of data.  To create a histogram, the data need to be grouped into class intervals. Then create a tally to show the frequency (or relative frequency) of the data into each interval. The relative frequency is the frequency in a particular class divided by the total number of observations.

A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data. It displays the frequency of data points within specified ranges (known as bins or class intervals) and provides a visual way to observe the shape and spread of the data.

How is it constructed:
1.  Collect Data
2.  Determine Class Intervals (Bins)
3.  Calculate the Range
4.  Determine Bin Width
5.  Create Class Intervals
6.  Count Frequencies
7.  Draw the Histogram
