Histogram
Exploration Questions
Answer the following questions:
- Change vertical and horizontal scales for each data set and
observe changes in the histogram. Is data increasing or decreasing along the
horizontal axis? Does the answer depend on the horizontal scale? Vertical scale?
- Can you make data look more stable by changing the scales? Can you
make it look more unstable?

leads to a big change in the appearance of the histogram. How and why does this
happen?
