One of the key differences between a bar chart and histogram is: the histogram contains gaps between the bars and the bar chart does not. a bar chart is used to display a categorical variable and a histogram is used to display the distribution of a quantitative variable. the histogram shows relative frequency while the bar chart shows frequency. the bar chart must be vertical while the histogram must be horizontal.

Even though, a bar chart and histogram looks very similar, there are several differences between the two charts. Which of the following represents a key difference? A bar chart typically has gaps between the bars while a histogram has no gaps. Both A and B are correct. There is actually no real difference between a bar chart and a histogram. A bar chart is developed to analyze a continuous variable, while a histogram is used to analyze discrete variables.

What is the difference between a relative frequency histogram and a density (scale) histogram? Select all that apply. A. Density histograms are used when there are classes/bins with different widths. B. When the values of x̄ and x̃ are not close to each other. C. There is no difference between a relative frequency histogram and a density histogram. D. The sum of the bars in a density histogram is 1 as opposed a relative frequency histogram where the total area of the bars is equal to 1. E. When the values of x̄ and x̃ are close to each other. F. The sum of the bars in a relative frequency histogram is 1 as opposed a density histogram where the total area of the bars is equal to 1. G. none of the above
