Question

Suppose that you construct a histogram and a relative frequency histogram corresponding to a particular frequency table. Identify one way the histograms will differ.

Answer 1

The histogram will give the actual number of items in each interval. This is called the frequency.

The relative frequency histogram will give the percent of items that are in the interval out of the total possible number.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you construct a histogram and a relative frequency histogram corresponding to a particular frequency table.

Histogram is representing actual frequency for a class interval in numbers.

But relative histogram gives the ratio of actual frequency to the sum of frequencies.

Thus histogram gives actual while relative histogram gives ratio.

Histogram figures may be greater than 1, but relative histogram figures are always less than 1.
