Graphs

How much smaller parts contribute to a larger whole =]

On a bar graph, the y axis shows the frequency of values being counted. For instance, if there was a survey of favourite colours, the y axis would be labelled 1,2,3,4,5 and so on, and represent the number of people who selected the particular colour.

A pie chart is round with "slices" to identify data items. A column chart is a series of columns to identify data items. A pie chart allows you to see how all the parts fit into the whole. A column chart allows you to compare all the parts with each other.

God I hate people ^ anyway. a Line plot is like a regular graph format just using Xs to count as each number and a line graph Is almost the same just using lines

It is appropriate to use a pictograph if a language isn't established and no common form of communication is known among a group of people. This way, pictures can be used to express ideas and thoughts rather than communicating through the use of signals or speech.

There is no generic name. It depends on the data.

A pie chart can only have one data series in it. They show how the components make up one unit. The series can have many values in it, but it can only be one series.

As many as you like -- limited only by computer memory.

Make it a different colour

Exploded Pie Chart

Line plots are used to figure out how much of one value is in a set of data.

Histograms are used to show/compare data in what seems like a bar graph, but instead it used to compare data over a period of time, number of a value, ect. ( intervals)

The answer depends on the size of the graph as well as the font used.

Two axes, each representing a different variable.

A slice of a chart can be "exploded" out of it. An exploded slice is separate from the main part of the chart. An exploded pie chart has all the slices separated.

a picture graph uses pictures to show the point and bar graph use bar lines to show the point.

Let's say you have 2 bars, one of which is 5 and one of which is 15 (units not important).

If you have the interval at 1 unit, then both bars would be relatively large. If you set the interval at 10 units, however, the bars suddenly seem much smaller. It's not because they ARE smaller, but because the interval makes them appear as such.

So if someone wanted to skew a statistic, such as "Number of deaths by cigarettes in 2009", they could set the interval at a high number to make it appear to be a smaller bar, which gives the impression that it's not that big of a deal. Conversely, if they wanted to skew a statistic the other way, such as "Units Produced in March", they could set the interval at a very low number which would make the bar appear very large, giving the effect of a large amount produced.

i think the main good in washington is apples. i am pretty sure

An area graph. It fills the area between a line and the line below or the x-axis.

It shows how each of the parts combine to form a complete data set and indicate the percent of each part. A pie chart can only have one series.

To show values as a trend and to be able see how something has played out over a period of time, a line graph is ideal.

The answer depends on whether it is a distance-time graph, speed-time graph or something else.

two different variables

Pie charts are good for showing how a whole is broken down into its parts.

x (usually for time) y (usually for distance)

and sometimes z
