Histograms – Useful for large data sets
Group values of the variable into bins, then count the number
of observations that fall into each bin
Plot frequency (or relative frequency) versus the values of
the variable

(that’s the median)
The mean is not necessarily the most likely value of the random
variable (that’s the mode)

independently and identically exponential random variables each with
parameter λ.
The gamma distribution has many applications in reliability engineering.
