Graphs

A graph with a data spread which is both positive and negative can be displayed on a divergent bar graph. These could be constructed on either the x or y axis. Most of you will have seen such a graph which has been drawn on a population pyramid.

Bar graphs are an excellent way to show overall trends. Example sales for the months of the year - with y-axis "Amount of Sales in Dollar Amounts" and x-axis "Months of the Year" or visa vera. The bar can be either vertically or horizontally. Bar graphs are usually a simple chart.

Line graphs are similar to bar graphs. With x and y axis. Line graphs allow you to add additional information. Example: y-axis being the number of people, x-axis in years. Allowing you to have various divisions of categories. Men, Women, Children, Total.

x axis and y axis

A table of data and a bar graph are the same because they both provide information.

I think it represents a frequency.

No.

First turn your percentage into a decimal by dividing it by 100 ,e.g 78% would become 0.78. Then multiply your answer by 360. e.g. 0.78 x 360 =280.8 degrees.

Therefore: percentage divided by 100 multiply by 360 = percentage shown in pie chart

Pie graphs are good for showing portions of the whole. Like if you wanted to show expenditures of a business as percentages (or portions) of the whole. So there may be a section of the 'pie' for labor, a section for rent, a section for utilities, etc.

This may be more useful than looking at raw dollars, especially if comparing two companies in the same industry, but of different sizes. One might have 2 million dollars in expenses for the year, while the other has $500,000 a year, but they may have similar proportions. Or you may find out that one company has a bigger portion spent on rent, than the other, for example.

It depends on the pie chart. It may not have any numbers less than 4, or all of them.

If it is a straight line it is called a line.

If it is a curved line it is called a curve.

If this is the best answer I can hope to get I don't think I will waste my time again!!!!!

Well, it depends on which line you are talking about. The x-axis (or horizontal line) is called the abscissa. The y-axis (or vertical line) is called the ordinate. Is that the lines you were talking about?

No, this was a question in a crossword and I believe that they were talking about the line joining two points on the graph. After completing the rest of the crossword the only possible answer was ordinate. It just shows how some crossword compilers stretch their clues.

It shows the value of the symbol.

The advantage is: You can see the data clearer and is easier to draw. It helps if you use numbers that have NOT got percentages in.

The disadvantage is: If you have no choice but to use a bar chart with percentages, you'll have a difficult time trying to do it. A Pie Chart is better to use.

I hope it helps. I'm only 12 years old.

Yes! White candles burn faster than colored candle because colored candales is too slow to melt....

A bar graph and line graph consist of the information stored along the side and bottom lines. The difference is a bar graph goes upwards, whilst a line graph goes sidewards.

A pie chart is a circle. It is called 'pie' because if you can imagine a pie with different percentages of slices cut, it would look like a pie chart. Hope this helps!

it can show data easy to compare

The advantages are how a pie graph is used to represent a whole right? Well that is easier if you wanted to find a percentage than to do it all by hand Division math. You could estimate

No it could not

Pie charts only show you the percentage, But it dose not show you the major trends in a pie chart

one- input tables and three input tables

positive numbers

The only thing that is dirffrent about the two graphics are the formation of them

Y axis (vertical)
