@Herbert_Seidenberg Thank you for your reply. But still, I did not get the answer. My target is how I modify the histogram as shown in the textbook with the same themes.

Hi @mohdt21 

 

I attached a sample chart. Data refresh in chart automatically as you change your data selection.

 

You can check here for Microsoft Excel & Office 365.

 

And if you are comfortable with Google Sheets, you can find here.

 

Thanks

Hi @Qaiser_j,


Thank you for your help, you did a great job. However, I need the bars in the histogram to touch each other as instructed by my textbook. And if I did that there will be no space as shown in the image above on the onset of the first bar so how to overcome this!

I have also noticed that you used the class i.e., 30-39 for each bar label instead of using just number boundaries as in my textbooks.


I wish you would help me fix that.

You seem to be concerned about presentational detail.  I chose to use a column chart in preference to the statistical chart with bin labels.  Excel is not a graphic art package but it does offer a fair level of control through formatting.

Advise me which software will work the best with statistical alongside graphical art ?!

What I showed is simply Excel but with settings (colour etc) chosen to reflect your text book settings.
