 Histogram

It is a kind of Frequency Diagram used to represent Frequency distribution of a

continuous series.

Frequencies are shown by rectangle

Width of rectangles is according to width of class Interval.

Height in the proportion of the frequencies of class interval.

Both length and the width are considered for purpose of combination.

Histogram is never drawn for discrete series.
