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.

What mathematician invented how to graph a line using intercepts?

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

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 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.

What does C on a calculator mean?

C on the calculator means Clear. So in other words you erase all of your calculations to start a new one. However CE on the other hand is used for clearing only one number and your entire calculation doesn't get erased.

What is a paerto chart?

a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative total is represented by the line.

What are the disadvantages of using a histogram?

Advantages and Disadvantages of Histogram

Advantages:

1) Visually strong.

2) Can compare to normal curve.

3) Usually vertical axis is a frequency count of items falling into each category.

Disadvantages:

1) Cannot read exact values because data is grouped into categories.

2) More difficult to compare two data sets.

3) Use only with continuous data.

Why the straight line in the graph does not start from zero?

There is no reason why any graph should start from any particular point.

What type of equation results into a straight line graph?

A linear equation!

The general form, in n-dimensional space, is

a1x1 + a2x2 + ...+ anxn = c

where the ai and c are constants and the xi are variables.

Can someone provide an explanation on why that is and maybe give an website on where you found it and How come in histograms the bars connect but not in the bar graphs?

Bar graphs are used for qualitative or discrete [quantitative] data. Values between the bar categories are not possible an to emphasise that, the bars have gaps between them. Conversely, histograms are used for continuous data and so the values on the "category" axis form a continuum. To illustrate this, the bars touch on another.

I learned this well before the internet was widely available so did not need a website.
