A histogram is a visual representation of the distribution of a dataset. The shape of a histogram allows you to easily see where most of the data is situated. In particular, you can see where the middle of distribution is located, how closely the data lie around the middle, and where possible outliers are to be found. As shown in the figures below, a histogram consists of an x-axis, a y-axis and bars of different heights. The x-axis is divided into intervals (called “bins”), and on each bin a vertical bar is constructed whose height represents the number of data values within that bin. Note that histograms (unlike bar charts) don’t have gaps between the bars (if it looks like there’s a gap, that’s because that particular bin has no data in it).
Example: Suppose you are interested in the distribution of ages for employees working in a certain office. The following data is available: 36, 25, 38, 46, 55, 68, 72, 55, 36, 38, 67, 45, 22, 48, 91, 46, 52, 61, 58, 55. We use R to construct a histogram to represent the distribution of the data.
