Description: Different types of graphs used in statistical analysis.
GRAPHS
LINE GRAPH- A Line Graph is a graph that uses a line to connect data points.
- Line graphs are used to display continuous data.
- Line graphs can be useful in predicting future events when they show trends over time.
- A Line Graph is a graph that uses a line to connect data points.
BAR GRAPH- A Bar Graph is a graph that represents data with the help of rectangular bars.
- It is used to represent categorical data.
- The lengths of the bars represent the value of the category

HISTOGRAM- A Histogram is a graph used to represent the frequency of a range of data using bars or columns.
- The width of the bar shows the range of data and the height shows the frequency.
- The intervals are continuous and hence there is no gap between the bars.
