Definition

A bar graph that shows the frequency of data within equal intervals, with bars that touch.

Examples

  • A histogram groups test scores into intervals like 50-59, 60-69, etc.
  • Bars touch because the intervals are continuous.

Key rule

Histogram bars touch — there are no gaps between intervals.

Memory hook

Bars that touch, grouped by interval.
