Question

Bar graph and histogram are not two different ways of representing the data.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

In bar graphs, each column/bar represents a group defined by a categorical variable, whereas in Histograms, each column/bar represents a group defined by a continuous, quantitative variable.

In the examples shown above, the bar graph represents the seats of different countries (PES, EFA etc.) which is a categorical variable whereas the histogram represents the number of students who scored marks in different bands.(0 - 15, 45 - 60 etc.) which is a continuous, quantitative variable.

Hence the given statement is false.
