Histogram

Use the same data of home run numbers of Ruth and McGwire, we'll demonstrate Histogram here. At this time, we need to enter the home run numbers of Ruth and McGwire into two columns as shown.

MTB>histogram 'Ruth' 'McGwire

When comparing two or more distributions, the displays should be drawn on axes with the same range. Specifying the midpoint or cut points for the histogram intervals can do the job. Select Option button on the histogram dialog box, click on Midpoint(or Cut point) and specify the positions under Definition of Intervals.

Graphs with exactly the same X and Y axis can be obtained by clicking Frame on the histogram dialog box and then select Multiple graphs.


The results are shown below.
