Histogram Formula Guide

            

                

                    
Relative frequency

                    
relative frequency = bin frequency ÷ sample size

                    
Multiply by 100 to express the result as a percentage.

                

                

                    
Frequency density

                    
frequency density = frequency ÷ bin width

                    
For unequal bins, bar area represents frequency.

                

                

                    
Bin width

                    
bin width = data range ÷ number of bins

                    
Reasonable binning reveals structure without emphasizing random noise.

                

                

                    
Sample size

                    
sample size = sum of all bin frequencies

                    
Relative frequencies should total approximately one, or 100 percent.

                

            


            

            
How to Interpret a Histogram

            
    
                
  1. Read the title, units, axis labels, and scale.
    2. 
                
  2. Check bin boundaries and whether widths are equal.
    3. 
                
  3. Describe center, spread, shape, peaks, gaps, and unusual values.
    4. 
                
  4. Compare relative frequencies when sample sizes differ.
    5. 
                
  5. Verify visual conclusions against raw data when possible.
    6.
