A histogram is a type of chart that represents a frequency distribution. As you can see in the graphic, the x-axis represents intervals, while the y-axis shows their corresponding frequencies.

A key characteristic of a histogram is that the bars are directly adjacent to one another, with no gaps in between. This emphasizes the continuous nature of the data, as each bar represents a range of values rather than discrete categories. This is because histograms are used for continuous data (e.g., measurements like weight, length, or time spans).

In contrast, bar charts represent categorical data (nominal data such as the number of students in different study programs like law, psychology, or business administration). That’s why bars in a bar chart are separated from each other.

It’s also crucial that the y-axis of a histogram starts at a frequency of 0. The height of each bar represents the number of data points in that interval.

If the baseline is altered, the perceived heights of the bars change, potentially distorting the actual distribution of the data. This could lead to an overestimation of low frequencies or an underestimation of high frequencies.
