Question

Bar graphs are usually used to represent 'categorical data' while the histograms are usually used for 'continuous data'.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Bar graphs are usually used to display "categorical data" i.e. data that fit into categories. Histograms, on the other hand, are usually used to present "continuous data", that is data that represents measured quantity where, at least in theory, the numbers can take on any value in a certain range.
