histograms
Bar charts showing distribution
Histograms is the plural of histogram, a type of bar chart that displays the distribution of numerical data.
Each bar represents a range of values, and its height shows how many data points fall within that range.
Unlike regular bar charts, histogram bars touch each other to indicate continuous data: The histogram showed most test scores clustering around 75.
