Thank you! You're a life saver. You're basically the only teacher that does not waste half of their time explaining why this is done blah blah blah etc.
For those who are saying this is a histogram, you are wrong. This is a bar chart, as the bars are meant to be connected , on the y axis there has to be frequency density not frequency and also most importantly the widths along the bottom are meant to be different not the same each time. I'm not being rude I'm just simply stating a fact.
Hey Zack thank you for your input but I wanted to clarify as Im currently in Statistics and our professor and the book says and shows that bar charts are where the bars are not connected and a histogram is where the bars are connected. So can you maybe direct me to a place that shows the true answer
This is a histogram...you can tell the difference between a bar chart and a histogram..yes they both have simular layouts, however with a bar chart the data has been catagorised and not ranged/grouped. With a histogram the data is either a range/ grouped or just single. Another fact is that a bar chart has gaps between each data bar, whereas histograms the bars touch each other. I am an A grade student in maths. Therefore the man knows what he is talking about hope this helped :)
First up, you all can be kinder. Second... @Popsecret probably meant it as a joke. Third, it's not collage, you meant college. Oh and BTW I am NOT a nerd so please don't pick on me... Not on anyone actually. None of us are nerds. .. I mean, not unless you wanna be...🤓 No offense meant to anyone. I'm just posting this comment because I feel like everyone using apps like RU-vid should really respect each other... And recently becoming one of the "comment squad members" I've realised that many people don't...u never know how much harm u may be causing to the person on the other side of the screen... So it's better you just be at your best... keep ur self happy and make as big of an effort possible to make others happy too. Thanks for actually reading this. Hope it helps in anyway possible. 😊🤩
Histograms are completely different! they are the different ranges of a variable (E.G 4 -10 minutes) against frequency density. which is calculated by dividing the range by the frequency. this is a bar chart
Matt Hamman a bar chart has the bars spaced a histogram has the bars not spaced i know this because im in sixth grade vs a guy that does know math that might be 16 to 20 yearsold
+wayne williams yes, but frequency is a big matter in this. He is right this is a bar chart not a histogram. He misleads you when making the bottom level of numbers. So he is right and you are wrong.
I have a question. Does the Frequency always supposed to go on the y axis, or can it go on the x Axis. Is a histogram supposed to be vertical, or can it be horizontal??
At first glance, I can see that physically it is a histogram. But I noticed that the data you used are not grouped in intervals. Can you elaborate how the image you drew is a histogram even though the data used says otherwise?
Thank you!! My professor just started a statistic class and it is the second week of class and I did not know what the fuck a histogram was. He never explain anything and I assume that everyone know it!! It was worthy to watch you video thank you so much!!
i kind of get it now , so let me know if i have rhis right you group your data on x axis, and you put how many items you have (for the scale) on the y axis? thanks man have to finish a math test tomarrow , and building a histogram is the last question on there!!!!!!!!
***** If it were a bar graph for every number in the data set, there would have been 18 bars. But what we did here was calculate trends, which show the amount of each number in the data set. Since there were 5 8s, the 8 bar went up to 5, and so on.
This is not a histogram. This is a bar graph. Histograms cover ranges. In addition, as any stats text will tell you, the bars in bar graphs should not touch.
