This question is about histogram vs bar graph.

When to use a histogram or bar graph?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

A histogram should be used when the data is continuous, and a bar graph should be used when the data is discrete.

Continuous data is numerical data that can be measured. So, if you're comparing the temperature of the water in a lake in different months, then you use a histogram. If you're counting the number of boaters on the lake in a given month, then you use a bar graph.
