This video tutorial covers the concept of histograms, explaining how they display data in intervals or ranges. It compares histograms to bar graphs and dot plots, emphasizing their use in representing data shape and spread. The tutorial includes examples using ACT exam scores, library patron ages, and runners' weekly distances to demonstrate how to analyze data using histograms. Key concepts such as frequency, score ranges, and percentages are discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to interpret and create histograms.

What do histograms represent in their bars?
