A box plot summarises data in five items of information:

the minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and maximum.

The histogram gives the probability density for each group of values.

What is the difference between Bar chart and a frequency histogram?

In a bar chart,, each column represents a group defined by a categorical variable; and in a histogram, each column represents a group defined by a quantitative variable.Example, in a histogram of income people earn according to their ages, the columns would represent the ages, For example, the first one might be 18-21, and the next one 22-25 etc and the the the amount made would be on the vertical or y axis.You could have a bar graph of income vs color of your hair and each bar might be a color So once again, the labels on the bars might be redhead, blond, black hair, etc. and the numbers on the y axis would be the income. The point of the example is that in the bar chart, the columns are groups defined by hair color for example which is a categorical variable. It could just as well be states in the US or many others. And in the histogram, the variables is quantitative. We used age.They are very similar and the important difference is often subtle at firsts.


What is the difference between a line graph and a scatter graph?

A line graph would be what you plot for a function. for example, y = X2. Plotting this will result in a continuous line.A scatter graph will result from measuring a population or an experiment.For example, if you plotted the weight vs height for your class members, you would have a scatter graph.
