Histograms Worksheet, Information Handling Revision From GCSE Maths Tutor

The area of each block/bar represents the total of frequencies for a particular class width. The width of the block/bar(along the x-axis) relates to the size of the class width.So the width of a block/bar can vary within a histogram.The frequency density is always the y-axis of a histogram.Histograms are only used for numerical continuous data that is grouped.
