Histograms Histograms are used to organize quantitative information. When creating a histogram from raw data, create a frequency table first, then use it to create the histogram.

Steps for Creating a Histogram: Using your data, decide on the interval you want to use for your histogram (be sure they are all the same size). Create a frequency table from the data. Draw and label your x- and y- axes. Remember that the y-axis is always labeled “Frequency.” Draw each bar using your frequency table.
