Where do you put the independent and dependent variables on a histogram?

Independent on the x-axis (horizontal) and dependent on the y-axis (vertical).

What is a cumulative frequency histogram?

-Construct a frequency table-Draw a horizontal axis and mark off the intervals.Label the horizontal axis.If the first interval does not start at 0, use a "break" symbol on the axis.-Draw a vertical axis and identify a scale for the frequencies. Label the vertical axis.Often, the vertical axis is "frequency".-Draw bars with heights corresponding to the frequency values in the table.-Give the graph an appropriate title.


Does bar graphs touch?

Everyone including books and people answering on this website get this wrong. It does matter and the rule is simple. If your horizontal access is something where it is not possible to rank in any special order- for example favourite crisp flavours or different ways of getting to work - then the bars are separate. I think spacing of a third or half the bar width looks neatest. If you have a horizontal axis of some grouped data, like length of leaves, then you have a histogram and the bars touch. Strictly a histogram has a vertical axis of density to accommodate different width groupings. In many cases all the widths are identical and you have a simple frequency up the vertical axis. There does not seem any unaminity of the correct name for this animal. On the one hand I'd use "histogram" so it's clear the bars touch but then some purists object because the vertical axis isn't density. On balance I'd still call it a histogram.


What information do you put for the x axis on a histogram?

The amount of time! :)

What type of scores represents a histogram?

A histogram represents the distribution of scores in a dataset by organizing them into equally spaced intervals or bins along the horizontal axis, and displaying the frequency or count of scores within each bin on the vertical axis. The scores on the horizontal axis could be any type of numerical data, such as test scores, heights, or ages.

What do the horizontal lines on an ekg measure?

The horizontal axis is time. The vertical axis is a measure of something electrical (the wires are connected to electrical contacts on your chest).

Is the X axis on the horizontal or vertical axis?

The x axis is the horizontal axis. The y axis is the vertical axis.


Is a vertical like on the Y axis or the X axis?

The vertical axis is the y-axis. The horizontal axis is the x-axis.

What does the slope of a line measure?

The rate of change in the variable plotted on the vertical axis per unit change in the variable plotted on the horizontal axis.


What is the difference between a histogram and polygon?

1. A histogram is two-dimensional while a polygon has more than four dimensions. 2. A histogram may be drawn from a histogram by joining the mid points of upper horizontal sides of each rectangle. But a histogram can not be drawn from a polygon. 3. The frequency polygon of several distributions can be plotted on the same axis while more than one histogram can not be drawn on the same axis. 4. It is possible to compare the polygon of several distributions as they can be plotted on the same axis. But to compare histogram we must have a graph for each distribution. 5. Polygon an outline of data pattern is sketched more clearly than histogram.


Which axis is the X and Y on?

The y-axis is vertical and the x-axis is horizontal.
