A histogram is plotted, which shows the frequency of the digits 0鈥�9 in the Florida Play 4 lottery.

A histogram is a plot used to graphically represent a frequency distribution based on a continuous range of numbers. All the class frequencies are plotted on the vertical axis, while all the class intervals (midpoints/limits) are plotted on the horizontal axis.

The frequency axis shouldalways begin with a 0to show the accurate frequency of each class. If the vertical axis does not begin with a 0, the deviations among each frequency are exaggerated or enlarged. This results in false interpretations.

The given histogram showing the frequencies of each digit in a lottery doesnot begin with a 0 on the vertical axis. This leads tomagnified differences between each frequency and gives a wrong picture.
