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 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.

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.

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.

Which component in a graph indicated an independent factor?

The x-axis of a graph is always your independent variable and the y-axis is the dependent variable. The independent variable is so called because it can stand alone as data and does not depend on other information to make sense.

How do you describe your process for determining the scale for a bargraph?

First by looking at your data, label the scale and draw bars to given data

Where do most of the data in the histogram cluster?

They can cluster anywhere: it depends on what characteristic of what population is being measured.

What is the brandt line history?

The Brandt Line, proposed by former German Chancellor Willy Brandt in 1980, is a conceptual division that separates the world into the wealthy "North" and the poorer "South." It highlights global inequalities in development, with the North representing industrialized nations and the South encompassing developing countries. The line was introduced in the context of the Brandt Report, which aimed to address economic disparities and promote international cooperation for development. Although the line is not a strict geographical boundary, it underscores ongoing issues of global inequality and development challenges.

When is it appropriate to show a break in the scale on a line graph?

When the domain or range of the data are clearly far from the origin, or where the data consist of two separate clusters.

Why is a continuous line graph a good choice for displaying data?

Sometimes it is, other times it is not. If you want to display the favourite fruit of a school class, a continuous line graph would be totally useless.

What is the steepness of a line on a graph represents?

The change in the y-value over the x-value, the slope, m, (y1-y2)/(x1-x2).

What are the merits and demerits of multiple line graphs?

The main advantage is that it allows you to see how different dependent variables change according to changes in the same "independent" variable.

It is relatively simple to use two vertical axes for the dependent variables, but the degree to which the two axes relate to one another is arbitrary. Furthermore, if the ranges of the dependent variables are very different the chart becomes unreadable.

What does a rate of change indicate?

The rate of change indicates the change in one variable per unit change in a second variable at (or around) that level for the second variable.
