There are several other ways to visualize data besides using histograms. Some of these include bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, scatter plots, box plots, heat maps, and area charts. Each of these methods can be used to represent different types of data and to highlight different aspects of the data.
Question was asked on:
Say you're a scientist, and you have a list of data that involves a specific gender and height. The first three histograms visualize the count of each height by gender, the distribution of the two genders, or the distribution of all the heights. But remember: these inputs can be customized to anything you want; say you run a warehouse, and you want to organize related parts by their respective sizes; delete the inputs in blue, and replace them with your specifications. Histograms work by separating data into groupings called bins. Here, we provide a simple filter to decide how to slice the data.
