Graphs

Graphs often collect a set of data in a group of people. There are many kinds of graphs: pie charts (circle charts), bar graphs, line graphs, data tables, pictographs, flow charts, histograms, etc.

Why are graphs helpful for displaying data?

They help you identify patterns in the data.

Why is it important to be careful using and making graphs?

For a graph to be accurate, it is important to be as careful as possible.

How are line graphs used to show how to variables are related?

i searched this and got nothing so... srry try something else please

Is it true or false that the slope of the line on a speed-time graph tells the speed?

False. If speed is on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis, then any point (a,b) on the line will tell you the speed a at any given time b. The slope of the line will tell you the change in speed with respect to time, which we call acceleration.

Why do scientist use table and graph in presenting their data or experiment?

While doing the experiment we can assume many different outcomes. Like for example when you play baseball what is the guarantee that the ball wont swing to the left or the right or its trajectory wont change.

Thus scientists tabulate their findings. They then graphically represent them. The graphical representation is used to derive the conclusion for the experiment. Like for example when you are trying to derive Ohm's law you first tabulate the data and then plot a graph for the data you found out. The graph can represent:-

  • A straight line confirming that the current is directly proportional to the potential difference across the conductor.
  • A parabola, then the current is not directly proportional. It depends as a square of the other.

Thus with these examples we see the importance of tabulation and graph plotting. Now graph plotting is very useful for computer models.

What is the process of extending a graph beyond given data to make a prediction?

The first step would be to determine the nature of the relationship between the variables using the graph and any other relevant informaton. The next stage would be to use regression techniques to calculate a curve of best fit to the observations. This curve may be extended beyond the data but, the further the distance from the actual observations, the greater the likely error in the extrapolation

What is alike in bar graph and picture graph?

A bar graph uses rectangles of equal width to represent numerical values of variables whereas a picture graph conveys information using pictures and symbols.

What mathematician invented how to graph a line using intercepts?

It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes who created the coordinate plane.

What is the difference between bar and histogram?

Bars are for single values or classes with uniform width, and the height of each bar is the frequency. In a histogram, the classes are of different width and the heights are proportional to the frequency density. The frequency, itself, is given by the area of the "bar" above the class.

What is a cluster on a line graph?

A cluster in a line graph is the major part of the line graph that connects to the plot.

How do you make chart of open ended questions?

I'm not sure what the question means but here we go with an answer. Open ended questions are one that when asked can not be answer with a simple yes or no. The answerer must elaborate, explain and otherwise embellish in order to give an answer. To ask an open ended question you don't as "why" but rather "what" and "how". Until you get used to asking such questions a good idea to write them down down ahead of time until the become second nature to you.

There are statistical programs that can categorize open-ends. You could then create a chart based on the number of comments in each category.

What is shown on a graph?

A graph is a visual representation of numerical or other information, often used for comparative purposes. Mathematical graphs include those in geometry that indicate points, lines, and curves within a Cartesian coordinate system. Other types of graphs (bar graphs, pie graphs) display numerical values or percentages as lengths or areas, and may use colors to indicate the data for more than one set of values.

What are the answers to unit 4 lesson 4 using tables rules and graph quiz?

The answers will depend entirely on the questions of which none have been given.

How to find a fraction of what someone got from a pie chart?

Divide the central angle of the relevant pie segment by 360.

What is countour line interval?

It depends on the scale of the map, the range of values attained within the area of the map, the units of measurement and the accuracy of the contour data.

Why is a graph a useful source of information?

It is no more nor less useful a source of information than any other. Some people find graphs easy to understand, others do not. Approximate values and trends may be sufficient for some purposes whereas for others the detailed numbers and statistical analyses are required.
