A bar graph, also known as a bar chart, is a way of representing data visually. It is used to compare values across categories or to show how values change over time. A bar graph consists of bars of varying lengths, with the length of each bar representing the magnitude of a particular value. The categories or data points are usually labeled along the bottom or side of the graph, and the bars are placed on the opposite axis. The height of each bar is proportional to the value it represents. Bar graphs can be used to represent a wide range of data types, including counts, frequencies, proportions, and continuous data. They are often used to present data in a simple and straightforward manner, making it easy to compare and interpret the data.
