- @keyPoint 9999,comparing frequencies 1
- #bComparing frequencies 1#
- Frequency is the area of the column for each
- @at ,-2
- class. If the columns in the histogram are the
- @at ,-2
- same width you can compare frequency by
- @at ,-2
- comparing the height of each column. The
- @at ,-2
- tallest column shows the #hmodal class#.
