ABoth bar plots and histograms display values for specific categories.
BBar plots show data distribution over ranges; histograms display values for specific categories.
CBoth bar plots and histograms show data distribution over ranges.
DBar plots display values for specific categories; histograms show data distribution over ranges.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand bar plot purpose

    Bar plots show values for distinct categories or positions, like sales per month.
  2. Step 2: Understand histogram purpose

    Histograms group data into ranges (bins) to show how data spreads, like exam scores distribution.
  3. Final Answer:

    Bar plots display values for specific categories; histograms show data distribution over ranges. -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Bar = categories, Histogram = ranges [OK]
Quick Trick: Bar = categories, Histogram = data spread [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing bar plots with histograms
  • Thinking both show the same type of data
  • Assuming histograms show exact values per category
