Question 12 • FowU - Financial Math - B

What is the difference between a histogram and a bar graph?

Answer
A
A histogram presents information in horizontal bars, while a bar graph presents information in vertical bars.
B
A histogram deals with data which displays a normal distribution, while a bar graph deals with data in any distribution.
C
There is no difference. The two terms are synonymous.
D
A histogram deals with continuous data in ordered columns, while a bar graph deals with discrete data in separate columns.

Explanation

A histogram shows continuous numerical data grouped into intervals, so its columns touch to show the intervals are connected. A bar graph compares discrete categories or values, so its columns are separated. Therefore, the correct choice is “A histogram deals with continuous data in ordered columns, while a bar graph deals with discrete data in separate columns.”
