Test Score Distribution — Histogram Example

What this example shows
- The bulk of scores cluster in the mid-70s, with a long left tail — a few students fell far behind the group.
- The distribution is left-skewed, which a mean alone would hide. The median is the more honest summary here.
- Change the bin count in the Style panel: too few bins hides the tail, too many turns the chart into noise.
