Question

If it is appropriate to use a histogram to show the frequency distribution for a set of scores, would it also be appropriate to show the same set of scores in a bar graph? Explain why or why not. This is urgent!

Answer 1

i think its not appropriate because a histogram will have been chosen because the classes in the frequency distribution would not have been all the same and the histogram is more suitable if thats the case. Also if some of the frequencies are very high then a bar chart is not really practibcable. On a histogram the frequencies are represented by the areas so it can accomodate large differences in frequencies.
