Question

Which of the statements is correct?
A) Histograms and historigrams are similar in look
B) Cube and square diagrams are similar in look
C) Pie-chart and ogives are similar in look
D) None of them

Answer 1

Hint: A histogram is a type of graphical representation that arranges a group of data into different ranges that are specified by the user. They look similar to bar graphs. They represent the distribution of numerical data accurately. Historigrams are graphs which show the changes of a variable as a function of the time.

Complete answer:
Histograms are used to show continuous data that is placed in different categories. There are no spaces present between the bars. The width of all the bars is the same.
In cube diagrams, the outline (skeleton) of the cube makes up the graph with eight vertices and twelve edges. Cube diagrams are special cases of hypercube graphs. Square diagram or square graph is the cycle graph. It is isomorphic to the complete bipartite graph. An ogive is also known as a cumulative frequency polygon. It is a form of frequency polygon that displays cumulative frequencies. A pie-chart is a type of graph in which a circle is cut up into different parts. Each section represents a part of the whole.
The diagram below depicts an histogram:

Therefore, the correct answer is option (A) that is histograms and historigrams are similar in look.

Note:
A bar chart (also known as bar graph) is a graph that represents data categorically. The lengths of the bar are proportional to the values they represent. The bars can be both horizontal and vertical. Vertical bar charts are sometimes known as column charts.
In histograms numerical data is represented whereas, historigrams are time series graphs. They represent the different values in the series against time.
