-Suggests incorrectly that 35-45 is the most crowded

class

- Suggests incorrectly that each of the infinite number

of points in the class 0-20 has a frequency of 8 leading
g to infinite frequency within the class

- Suggests correctly that 30-35 is the most crowded

class
- The frequency of each class is represented by the
area of the bar i.e. frequency density (height) x class
width (Height)
• Histogram is a frequency density vs variable diagram for continuous
random variable
• Each bar represents a class
• Height of ech bar is proportional to the frequency density of the class
• Width of the bar is proportional to the class width
• Area of the bar is proportional to class frequency
• Total area of all the bars is proportional to the total frequency
