Histogram
Clarified the key distinctions between histograms and bar charts. Saying a bar chart shows "categorical variables" is potentially misleading. Each bar does represent a different category, but the heights of the bars are quantitative.

Family-wise error rate
Corrected apostrophe placement in "Holm's". Also, clarified Tukey's position regarding experimentwise control. The previous phrasing gave the misleading impression that Tukey was generally opposed to experimentwise error control, rather than that he suggested familywise control was preferable in the case that an experiment included multiple families.

Statistical hypothesis test
Removed apparently nonsensical sentences. For example the alpha level isn't calculated from the test statistic; it is simply designated. And the phrase "based on the comparison of the hypothesis with the significance level or on the p-value of the hypothesis" appears to be pure gobbledygook. Also, the "100 statistical tests" claim doesn't belong in the lede, and the source cited for it is not a reliable source for statistical theory anyway.Tag: references removed

Histogram
As noted in a previous edit explanation, there aren't an official "seven tools of quality." So it's silly to put that in the main info box for the article. Also the main image is full of "chart junk," i.e., pointless visual complexity (it is rainbow colored for no apparent reason). The other histogram images in the article are much better, simpler, and more representative of typical histograms.

Histogram
There's no particular reason a histogram can't be used to represent discrete (i.e., non-continuous) data. For example, you could have a histogram illustrating the number of pets that people own or the number of friends people have. Those aren't continuous variables because the values can only be whole numbers. The key distinction between histograms and bar graphs is that histograms typically represent quantitative variables. Quantitative variables aren't necessarily continuous.Tag: references removed

A single blog calling Millie Jackson the "mother of hip-hop" isn't really relevant. And the basis for the claim is that she had long talking sections in some of her songs? What does that have to do with hip-hop?Tag: references removed

Doppler effect
→Consequences: Adjusted language to be more technically correct. There's no such thing as "perceiving" an infinite frequency. Ears have a limited range of frequencies they can respond to. Moreover, we don't directly "perceive" frequency. We perceive pitch, which is a subjective quality based on frequency. Also, a sonic boom doesn't mean the frequency is infinite; that would be outside the range of anyone's hearing and thus not a "boom."Tag: Reverted
