Steps to making a histogram
To do that, rather than changing the graph type, leave it as an X-Y plot. Some users like to superimpose a line showing a fitted Gaussian distribution. In the illustration below, we reduced the horizontal axis label font size to accommodate the numerous bin center labels: Graph Type", then choose "Graph Type: Bar Chart". The quickest way to convert to a bar histogram is to click "Change. When the analysis is complete, a Results sheet appears showing values Prism has computed for the frequency distribution:Ĭlick on the newly generated graph sheet to view a line graph of that distribution:

Note that you can manually set bin widths in this dialog, or you can allow Prism to do that for you. In the Parameters dialog, check the box to "Create a new graph of the results". Enter your raw data in the first column (only part of the table for this example is shown below):Ĭlick "Analyze" and choose "Statistical Analyses. Prism 3: Set up a table formatted as follows: X column = None (column graph), Y columns = A single column of values.
