A Histogram represents the distribution of a numeric variable

Histograms are commonly used for any kind of variable including non-numeric, i.e. categorical variables.

Hi Benjamin,

Can you show me an example of a histogram made for categorical variables? 🤔

Are you sure you are not thinking about a barplot?

Thanks for your feedback!
