    Hi,

    I see that a clustered column chart is labelled as a histogram in the solution provided. Is this correct? I would have thought these are different things?

    Thanks for the feedback for my understanding :)

    You're right! These are not the same. A clustered column chart shows the individual values split by category, whereas a histogram shows the number of values falling into different bands. So it seems they've used the wrong word here.

    Thanks for the reply David. Is the solution correct besides the naming of the chart? i.e is it ok to use a clustered column chart to show the distribution rather than a histogram or should the solution have included a histogram to show the distribution? Thanks for the feedback :)
