The document discusses histograms and how they are used to organize and summarize data. Histograms divide a continuous range of data into bins of equal size to display the frequency distribution. They show the frequency of data values within each discrete interval. The document provides an example of students measuring the density of an unknown liquid and creating a histogram to analyze the results. It outlines the steps to organize the density data values, determine the appropriate bin ranges, count the data into groups, and interpret the frequency table and histogram created.
