    What you’ll learn to do: Describe the distribution of quantitative data using a histogram.

    Illustration

    When presented with large data sets, the dotplot is sometimes cumbersome to put together. In addition, it may not be the cleanest way to present the data. For large datasets, a histogram can represent the numerous data points more simply as bars instead of an immense amount of data points in a dotplot. Similar to the dotplot, a histogram is useful in displaying the distribution (aka shape) of the data.
