The video tutorial explains how to create a histogram with 25 data points ranging from 20 to 120. It recommends dividing the data into five intervals, each with a width of 20 units. This division is based on the range of 100, calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum. The tutorial provides a step-by-step explanation of how to determine the interval width and the reasoning behind choosing five intervals for even distribution of data points.
