According to Help:
"The area of each bar in the histogram is proportional to the frequency
with which the data falls in that category."
Needs["Histograms`"]
hist = Histogram[{1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/4, 1, 1/4, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4},
HistogramCategories -> {0, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1, 2}];
Column@Cases[hist,
Rectangle[{a_, 0}, {b_, c_}] :>
StringForm["The bar for interval: [``,``) has area ``", a, b,
c (b - a)], Infinity]
The bar for interval: [1/4,1/3) has area 4
The bar for interval: [1/3,1/2) has area 2
The bar for interval: [1/2,1) has area 2
The bar for interval: [1,2) has area 1
