In statistics, a histogram is a type of graph that shows the distribution of frequencies of data, usually in the form of vertical bars. This type of graph is also commonly called a frequency histogram. In a histogram graph, the height of each bar shows the number of items that fall into that range on the graph.
# times ordered
Helpful in showing orders frequencies and variation.

4. What is the difference between a bar graph and a histogram?
In bar graphs are usually used to display "categorical data", that is data that fits into categories. For example suppose that I offered to buy donuts for six people and three said they wanted chocolate covered, 2 said plain and one said with icing sugar.
Histograms on the other hand are usually used to present "continuous data", that is data that represents measured quantity. The data would then be collected into categories to present a histogram.
Histograms are used to show the different frequencies in a process. It is useful for identifying trends and relationships that can lead to quality improvements.

Easy to draw, just put a mark at the top (in the middle) of each bar and join with straight lines.
Good for comparing sets of data

Monitoring the pizza process, this example shows how almost every pie is within specifications. The process should be analyzed to discover why the one small pie was produced and corrected to improve quality.
