Plotting Histograms
A histogram plots one-variable data and depicts the distribution of data. The number
of bins displayed depends on the number of data points and the distribution of these
points. A value that occurs on the edge of a bin is counted in the bin to the right.
Creating a Histogram from Raw Data
1. Create the list that you want to plot as a histogram. For example, you can enter or
collect data as a named list on a Lists&Spreadsheet page.
2. On a Data&Statistics page, click the x or y axis, and select your list as the data to
plot.
3. From the Plot Types menu, click Histogram.
The data forms the bins of a histogram, with Frequency plotted by default on the
unselected axis.
