    In mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a graph is a representation of

    a set of objects where some pairs of objects are connected by links. The
    interconnected objects are represented by mathematical abstractions called vertices,
    and the links that connect some pairs of vertices are called edges.[1] Typically, a graph
    is depicted in diagrammatic form as a set of dots for the vertices, joined by lines or
    curves for the edges. Graphs are one of the objects of study in discrete mathematics.

    A histogram is a type of graph that has wide applications in statistics. Histograms allow a visual
    interpretation of numerical data by indicating the number of data points that lie within a range of
    values, called a class or a bin. The frequency of the data that falls in each class is depicted by the
    use of a bar.

    Histograms vs. Bar Graphs


    At first glance, histograms look very similar to bar graphs.
    Both graphs employ vertical bars to represent data. The height of a bar corresponds to the relative
    frequency of the amount of data in the class. The higher the bar, the higher the frequency of the
    data. The lower the bar, the lower the frequency of data. But looks can be deceiving. It is here that
    the similarities end between the two kinds of graphs.
    The reason that these kinds of graphs are different has to do with the level of measurement of the
    data. On one hand, bar graphs are used for data at the nominal level of measurement. Bar graphs
    measure the frequency of categorical data, and the classes for a bar graph are these categories. On
    the other hand, histograms are used for data that is at least at the ordinal level of measurement. The
    classes for a histogram are ranges of values.
    Another key difference between bar graphs and histograms has to do with the ordering of the bars.
    In a bar graph it is common practice to rearrange the bars in order of decreasing height. However,
    the bars in a histogram cannot be rearranged.
    They must be displayed in the order that the classes occur.
    Definition: A bar graph displays data visually and is sometimes called a bar chart or a bar graph.
    Data is displayed either horizontally or vertically and allows viewers to compare items displayed.
    Data displayed will relate to things like amounts, characteristics, times and frequency etc. A bar
    graph displays information in a way that helps us to make generalizations and conclusions quickly
    and easily.

    A typical bar graph will have a label, axis, scales and bars. Bar graphs are used to display all kinds
    of information such as, numbers of females versus males in a school, sales of items during
    particular times of a year. Bar graphs are ideal for comparing two or more values.
