Histograms and grouped data

A histogram represents the distribution of numerical data grouped into intervals. Adjacent bars touch because the intervals are continuous. Frequency is the number of values, while relative frequency is their fraction or percentage of the complete data set.

Reading grouped data

Cumulative frequency is found by successively adding interval frequencies. To estimate the mean, multiply every interval midpoint by its frequency, add the products and divide by the total frequency. Check interval boundaries, scale and whether height represents frequency or frequency density.
