How does bin size affect a histogram representation?
- Bin size changes the shape of the histogram
- Bin size does not affect the histogram
- Larger bins make the histogram more detailed
- Smaller bins make the histogram more detailed
The choice of bin size in a histogram can greatly affect the resulting visualization. If the bins are too large, important features of the data may be obscured. If the bins are too small, the histogram may appear too 'noisy' and it may be difficult to interpret underlying patterns. Thus, the choice of bin size can indeed change the perceived shape of the histogram.
