Question

This is stupid I know lol but I'm having a hard time remembering the difference between a histogram and a bar graph. Can someone please help me find a way for me to remember the differences?

Answer 1

In Bar Graphs;

- Bars have equal space

- One the y-axis, we have numbers & on the x-axis, we have data which can be anything.

In Histograms;

- Bars are fixed

- On the y-axis, we have numbers & and on the x-axis, we have data which in continuous & will always be number.

An easy way you can remember the difference is looking at the spaces of the bars.

A bar graph has gaps

A histogram has no gaps.
