A histogram is a graphical portrayal of quantitative data that divides the data into classes and gives the frequency of each class. Whereas an ogive plot is a curve that represents the cumulative frequency distribution of quantitative data, a dot plot shows individual data values as dots along a number line, a Pareto chart is a specific type of bar chart that displays the relative frequency or size of problems in descending order of importance, and a bar chart shows the distribution of data in categories or qualitative variables, not quantitative variables. Therefore, the best choice for the given definition is a histogram.
