Histograms
There is no easy way, using Excel, to create a conventional histogram, with a correct x-
scale.  The x-axis in the histogram (previous page) can be replaced, in Excel, by the correct
x-axis for a histogram, showing the values at the class boundaries (as on page 11).  That
process is laborious.  The histograms (page 19) were created using Excel’s XY (Scatter)
chart type – even more laborious.  The message to the student is, if you wish to chart a true
histogram either use specialised software or draw it by hand.
