For example, a histogram often being used which can display the distribution of data. The histogram is represented as a series of vertical bars that represent the relative frequency of data values, with the height of the bar proportional to the amount of data it represents. In ways, it helps us to interpret the data easily.
If the visual representations look interesting, it is more likely to understand.

In some cases, a population chart that has a small scale to analyze will give a big impact to someone. At a small scale, the effects of such errors become significant and have a negative impact on the model. The problem with small data can be exacerbated if the data is biased and not drawn at random from the population.
“The biggest problem with small data is that the sample do not adequately represent the actual distribution of data in the population.”
