What’s the difference?

Interpreting bar graphs What color of M&M’s was the most popular? What color was the least? About how many more orange M&M’s were there than blue M&M’s?

Making a histogram 1. Make a frequency table of the data – Make sure you use equal intervals 2. Choose an appropriate scale and interval for the vertical axis. – The greatest value on the scale should be at least as great as the greatest frequency 3. Draw a bar for each interval – The height of the bar is the frequency for that interval – Bars must touch, but not overlap 4. Label the axes and give the graph a title

Let’s try together Make a histogram of the data: 26, 16, 13, 19, 21, 14, 12, 20, 15, 17, 27, 22 1.Make a frequency table Make the histogram IntervalFrequency Intervals Frequency
