histogram
Data distribution chart
A histogram is a chart showing how data distributes across ranges, using adjacent bars whose heights represent frequency.
Unlike bar charts, histograms display continuous data divided into bins: The histogram showed most test scores clustering between 70 and 85.
Common in statistics, science, and photography, where histograms display the distribution of light and dark tones in an image.
