Image Source: Histogram The above-given table gives us the survey data taken by the bank of the customers of their respective waiting time. Image Source: Study histogram We can very well tell from this graph that, the customers have waited for most up to 35 to 50 seconds.
Histogram Distributions There are many ways a histogram can be distributed. Image Source: Normal Distribution of Histogram Bi-modal Distribution of Histogram This type of histogram distribution consists of two normal types of distribution. Image Source: Bi-modal Distribution of Histogram Right-skewed Distribution of Histogram In this type of histogram distribution, large values occur on the left side than the right side, making this graph slanting toward the right.
Source: Right-skewed Distribution of Histogram Left-skewed Distribution of Histogram This type of histogram is slanted towards the left. Image Source: Left-skewed Distribution of Histogram Random Distribution of Histogram As the title suggests, the distribution of this histogram is random and a lot of peaks are visible here. Image Source: Random Distribution of Histogram Uniform Distribution of Histogram In this type of histogram distribution, the peaks are all found to be almost of the same size, giving little information about the source.
Image Source: Uniform Distribution of Histogram Pros of a Histogram Histograms help in displaying a large amount of data graphically, that is difficult to be put into tabular form.
It makes it easier to display data that are of various types and frequencies. It is useful for the visualization of the distribution of data. With the use of a histogram, the median, distribution, and variations in data can be found out.
Histogram tells us about the skewness of data plotted. These charts also help in predicting the future performance of the process. It makes it simpler to calculate the capability of a process. Histograms are very consistent, as the intervals are equally distributed, Data tables can be easily converted to histograms. Histograms are helpful in calculating the standard deviation of data. The range of the chart can be found using this plot. Histograms are among the charts that are, reader-friendly.
It is easy to read and understand. Histograms are often plotted in order for assistance in decision making. These graphs are apt for usage when the data available is in very large ranges. For example, when taking the survey of students of a college, who park vehicles outside the campus. Cons of a Histogram Only continuous data can be used while plotting a histogram. This form of chart is not very suitable for comparing two types of data.
Topic navigation. Data table for Chart 5. Table 5. The information is grouped by Comparison terms appearing as row headers , Bar chart and Histogram appearing as column headers. Comparison terms Bar chart Histogram Usage To compare different categories of data. To display the distribution of a variable.
Type of variable Categorical variables Numeric variables Rendering Each data point is rendered as a separate bar. The data points are grouped and rendered based on the bin value. The entire range of data values is divided into a series of non-overlapping intervals.
Space between bars Can have space. For example, a distribution of analyses of a very pure product would be skewed, because the product cannot be more than percent pure. Other examples of natural limits are holes that cannot be smaller than the diameter of the drill bit or call-handling times that cannot be less than zero. These distributions are called right- or left-skewed according to the direction of the tail.
The bimodal distribution looks like the back of a two-humped camel. The outcomes of two processes with different distributions are combined in one set of data. For example, a distribution of production data from a two-shift operation might be bimodal, if each shift produces a different distribution of results. Stratification often reveals this problem. Because there are many peaks close together, the top of the distribution resembles a plateau.
The edge peak distribution looks like the normal distribution except that it has a large peak at one tail. In a comb distribution, the bars are alternately tall and short. For example, temperature data rounded off to the nearest 0. The truncated distribution looks like a normal distribution with the tails cut off.
