5. Histogram
   (Digital cameras and photo printers) A graph that shows the brightness distribution (by depicting the distribution of dark and bright pixels) for a scene. The data can be used to judge the exposure of the picture. Histograms are sometimes found in high-end digital cameras.

7. Histogram
   A graphical display showing the distribution of data values in a sample by dividing the range of the data into non-overlapping intervals and counting the number of values which fall into each interval. These counts are called frequencies. Bars are plotted with height proportional to the frequencies....
