What is a bin range

A bin range refers to a set of continuous values or intervals that are used to categorize or group data in statistics. It is commonly used when creating histograms or frequency distributions.

To determine a bin range, you need to follow a few steps:

1. Identify the minimum and maximum values in the dataset.
2. Calculate the range (difference between maximum and minimum).
3. Decide on the number of bins you want to have. This will depend on the size of your dataset and the level of detail you want to see.
4. Divide the range by the number of bins to determine the width of each bin.

For example, let's say you have a dataset of exam scores: 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

1. The minimum value is 60 and the maximum value is 100.
2. The range is 100 - 60 = 40.
3. If you decide to have 5 bins, divide the range by 5: 40 / 5 = 8.
4. Each bin will have a width of 8, so the bin ranges can be defined as follows:
- 60-68
- 69-76
- 77-84
- 85-92
- 93-100

These bin ranges can then be used to create a histogram, which visually represents the distribution of the scores.
