A histogram is the graphical display of a frequency distribution, relative frequency distribution, or percent frequency distribution of quantitative data constructed by placing the class intervals on the horizontal axis and the frequencies on the vertical axis. A bar chart is similar, but is used for categorical data. Stem-and-leaf displays are used to display the individual observations of a data set. Pie charts are used to display categorical data as parts of a whole.
