Boxplot
The boxplot uses boxes and lines to show the distributions of one or more groups of numeric data based on a 5-point summary of data points: the upperextreme (maximum), upper quartile (Q3), median, lower quartile (Q1), and lower extreme (minimum) values.

Histogram
A histogram displays the distribution of data over a continuous interval or specific time period. The height of each bar in a histogram indicates the frequency of data points within the interval/bin.

Population pyramid
A population pyramid consists of two histograms, one for each gender (conventionally, males on the left and females on the right) where the population numbers are shown horizontally (X-axis) and the age vertically (Y-axis).
