Slide 2 of 3
• Creating a Histogram
– Collect data and sort it into categories.
– Then label the data as the independent set or the
dependent set.
• The characteristic you grouped the data by would be the
independent variable.
• The frequency of that set would be the dependent variable.
– Each mark on either axis should be in equal increments.
– For each category, find the related frequency and make
the horizontal marks to show that frequency.
