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.

The axis on which the categories are shown in a bar and line graph?

Horizontal line (left to right) is the x-axis and the vertical line (up and down) is the y-axis.

How do you make a line graph in Microsoft Excel or Google Docs spreadsheet with two sets of values-one to the x axis and the other to the y axis?

This option is available when you choose to Graph selected data in your spreadsheet.

You can read Excel Help for this feature, or follow the guidelines in Google Docs to accomplish this task.

What are the characteristics of a histogram?

*Used to compare range

*Bar graph with ranges

If the lottery is fair what shape of histogram will she get?

In a state lottery, a player can buy a ticket that displays exactly 6 two-digit numbers having values in the range from 01 to 60. In a twice-a-week drawing, 6 numbered ping-pong balls are drawn at random from a hopper, and a ticket whose numbers match all 6 balls wins the jackpot.

A high-school statistics student wishes to test whether the lottery drawings are fair. For every drawing during a year, she records the six winning numbers. At the end of the year (after 104 drawings) she plots all the winning numbers with a histogram using the classes 01-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, and 51-60.

If the lottery is fair, what shape of histogram will she get?

Uniform

---------------------------

Theoretically, each bar of the histogram should have the same length, if the ball-drawing process is truly random. In this case, 104 x 6 = 624 numbers are drawn over the course of the year. Since the numbers are classed into 6 groups (of 10 each), each group should have about 104 numbers in it.

In fact, from simulations of this lottery, the heights of the bars representing a year of drawings will typically range from about 93 to about 119. The "Law of Large Numbers" says that the more times this experiment is repeated, the closer the average height of each bar will approach the theoretical value of 104

Is there a difference between a bar graph and a double bar graph?

A double bar graph plots two sets of data on a single chart, whereas a bar graph plots just one.

What would a graph look like Kelvin vs celsius?

Taking the x-axis to represent degrees C and the y-axis for K, it would be a straight line, parallel to y = x and with intercept (0, -273.15). The graph would not cross the y-axis.

Is the circle graph the same as a pie graph?

Yes because they both are circular and can be divided into the same groups.

++++

NB: There are two important classes of circular graphs.

'

One is the Pie Graph, which relies on impressions of area to make its point. It's primarily visual, and best suited to showing such things as local-government statistics, budgets and the like.

'

The other is the Polar Graph - of Amplitude v. Angle through (usually) a full circle though 0-180º semi-circles are common in certain applications. This a much more informative graph than the pie-chart, used in science and engineering. You may find these in the technical specifications of microphones and loudspeakers, giving the device's sensitivity w.r.t angle. Also sometimes in papers describing the echo-locating abilities of bats. A radar image is a sort of polar graph showing distance v. angle. The tachograph in the speedometer of a heavy goods vehicle or bus is another, rather special, example tracing vehicle speed v. time of day (For a 24-hour clock as this is, 1 hour = 15º of rotation).

'

Microsoft has not heard of true circular graphs, which may be why the polar graph does not appear much here. The nearest Excel can be bothered to offer is a cack-handed polygon-tracer it calls a "Radar Chart", with the 360º and 0º points bizarrely given as separate radials, and desperately limited editing functions!

When to use a line graph in science?

when somthing have been increased rappidl or decreased

How many ranges of data do you need to create a pie chart?

You can make a pie chart with a single range. A pie chart can have only one series. You could use a second range as the titles for slices the pie chart.

How are bar graph and circle graph alike?

Both show an amount of data, usually during a survey. One shows a number, but the other shows a percentage.
