Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A histogram and a bar graph both show the frequency or distribution of data, but bars in a bar graph are separated whereas bars in a histogram are connected to create a continuous shape. Similarly, dots connected by straight lines form a continuous shape in a frequency polygon. A scatterplot, on the other hand, shows the relationship between two variables using individual data points. Dioramas and pictographs are not related to this comparison.
