Cartography Module 2 Histogram


This histogram is a graphical depiction of data using bars to show the different values of the data within each column or bin.  It was constructed in Microsoft Excel, using data provided in my Cartographic Skills course. This data was analyzed, and then bin numbers were selected that provided the best array of the data. Histograms are useful when analyzing data with two or more attributes. Histograms display the data in a manner that is visually easier to interpret than a scatter plot graph, or a string of raw data.
