Intro to Scientific Computing
Histograms are graphical representations of the distribution of numerical data, where data is divided into intervals, called bins, and the frequency of data points within each bin is depicted with bars. They are essential for visualizing the shape, spread, and central tendencies of data, allowing for quick insights into patterns and trends. This method of visualization aids in exploratory data analysis by highlighting important statistical measures and relationships within datasets.
