A bar chart is a plot
of the relative frequency table.
The order by which the categories are presented in the bar chart is
arbitrary. Sometimes they are presented in order of decreasing frequency for
aesthetic purposes. Some computing packages present the categories
alphabetically, unless otherwise specified (see the following bar chart
from Excel).
