By taking logarithms we condense an enormous range into a much smaller one. This means we can show our data on a sensible scale.

What is range data?
Data Range is the values of the data from the minimum to the maximum that you are sampling.For plotting purposes(such as in EXCEL spreadsheet), it is the minimum and Maximum range of the values of X-Axis and Y-Axis.
What does a trend mean on a line graph?
It is a description of the Slope of the line with respect to the two variables you are plotting. In Statistics, you may be plotting AGE versus Car Mileage and a line drawn through the data is the Trend Line.
How do you find the trend on a line graph?

What is external secondary data?
External secondary data - data that is obtained outside the firm itself.
Broken line graph?
A broken line graph shows information by plotting points of information on the graph and are connected with a line. This is used to show continuous data.
What is the purpose of plotting and collecting data on a graph?
The plotting of data on a graph is used to observe, and subsequently describe, visible patterns that exist within the data.
What is a way of plotting data to show changes occur in related variables?
A scatterplot.
Is a pie chart good for plotting statistical correlations?
No. It is good for showing how each data point compares to the whole data set.
When plotting data on a graph which axis represents the dependent variable?
x - independent, y is dependent
What are the advantages of plotting data in graph form?
one advantage is that you could then see if there were any rises or falls in the type of data that you are collecting e.g. temperature
What does stem and leaf mean in maths?
It is a special way of plotting data in statistics. See link for more.
What is range data?
Data Range is the values of the data from the minimum to the maximum that you are sampling.For plotting purposes(such as in EXCEL spreadsheet), it is the minimum and Maximum range of the values of X-Axis and Y-Axis.
Do you use the average number for a bar graph?
It would depend on what you are plotting. A bar-graph could itself show the average of its range of values, or you could superimpose a mean-value line to determine which data sets exceeded or were below that average.
