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 Excels 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.
