For any measure we might take, there will be a range from the lowest value measured to the highest. For example, let’s say you have a report showing how many opportunities were produced by the BDR team for each day of a month. In this month, each day had between 2 and 9 opportunities produced, with many days falling near the middle of the range. A histogram graphically displays how often there were days with each value between 2 and 9.
In the histogram below, there were seven days in which five opportunities were produced, and seven days in which six opportunities were produced. Opportunities produced per day in this example is a normal (bell curve shaped) distribution.
