1. Building a Histogram in Excel IE 1225 R. Lindeke

2. After Opening Excel … Click: Tools … Add-Ins … Then Check: Analysis Toolpak Box

3. Enter Team/Individual Averages: Each Team has no- replicates? Need Averages for both Diameter & Length – we will build a histogram of each!

4. Determine Overall Range: Excel Formulas! =Max(C3:C32) =Min(C3:C32) Both Columns – diameter & Length

5. Excel Formula Too! Largest ‘Max’ to Smallest ‘Min’ Examine the Overall Range – Want 6 to 10 “Bins” covering this Range

6. Tools … Data Analysis … Histogram … ok!

7. In Histogram Box Click the ICON then highlight Ranges for Data (Input Range box) and Segment Limits (Bin Range box) … Put Histogram on Separate WorkSheet!

8. Also: Check Chart Output & Cumulative Percentage

9. Final Output: Experiment with Smaller Bins sizes (more bins across Overall Range)

10. Using 10 Bins not 6!

11. Leads to a More “Normal-Like” Distribution
