Except for the Y-axis scaling, a histogram will look the same if we use relative frequencies instead of raw frequencies (with the same bin limits).

This is true because when we use relative frequencies, we are essentially scaling the y-axis such that it represents proportions or percentages rather than raw counts. The shape of the histogram, which represents the distribution of the data, remains the same regardless of whether we use raw or relative frequencies.
