Histogram


This is a Histogram.  Histograms  are used to provide a visualization of the data.  Similar to the Stem and Leaf Plot diagram, if the sample is large enough, the results will often fall into a bell curve.  In this example, the weighted scores are along the x-axis while the frequency (number of students) is along the y-axis.  This sample was large enough (30 or more students) to result in the bell curve.
