Histogram: Presentation by Salman Ahmed Santosh Kumar Santosh

A histogram is a vertical bar chart that depicts the distribution of a data set by dividing it into intervals and plotting the frequency of data points in each interval. It gives a good visual idea of the spread and shape of the data without showing exact values. The horizontal axis shows the range and scale of observations, and the vertical axis displays the frequency of data points within each interval. Histograms are useful for summarizing large data sets graphically, comparing results to specifications, communicating information visually, and aiding decision making.

Histogram

Histograms are popular among statisticians

Though they do not show the exact values of the


data points
they give a very good idea about the spread of the
data and shape

 The histogram is one of the seven basic tools of


quality control
Introduction

is a vertical bar chart that depicts the distribution


of a set of data.
 summary graph showing a count of the data points
falling in various ranges
The horizontal axis depicts the range and scale of
observations involved
and vertical axis  shows the number of data points
in various intervals
What Is a Histogram?

• A bar graph that shows the distribution of data


• A snapshot of data taken from a process
When should we use a Histogram?

Summarize large data sets graphically

Compare process results with specification


limits

Communicate information graphically

Use a tool to assist in decision making


What are the parts of a Histogram?

 Title: The title briefly describes the


information that is contained in the
Histogram

Horizontal or X-Axis: The horizontal or X-


axis shows you the scale of
values into which the measurements fit

These measurements are generally


grouped into intervals to help you
summarize large data sets
Parts
Bars: The bars have two important
characteristics—height and width
height represents the number of times the values
within an interval occurred.
width represents the length of the interval
covered by the bar
Vertical or Y-Axis: The vertical or Y-axis is the
scale that shows you the
number of times the values within an interval
occurred. The number of times
Is also referred to as Frequency
