Types of Statistical Graphs

Bar Charts

A bar chart consists of a grid and some vertical or horizontal columns (bars). Each column represents quantitative data.

Box Plots

A box plot displays summary statistics for the distribution of values for a variable. The outer bounds of the box represent the first and third quartiles. The line inside the box represents the median. The markers outside the box, referred to as outliers, represent data points that are outside of the 25th and 75th percentiles.

Histograms

A histogram is a bar chart that displays the observed frequencies of data that have been binned (divided into contiguous, equally spaced intervals). The heights of the bars indicate the relative frequency of observations in each bin. Histograms can also show binned response data if you choose a response variable other than Frequency.

Pie Charts

A pie chart is a circular chart that is divided into slices by radial lines. Each slice represents the relative contribution of each part to the whole.
