How can you compare two data sets displayed in Histograms?
You can compare by seeing where the maximum, minimum, and median are in the histogram s and by also seeing where the histograms cluster at.
Why do you use a broken bar graph?
A broken bar graph is used when one value, or a few values, goes up very high. Instead of scaling everything down, the abnormally high value is indicated with the broken bar graph. Of course, a number also has to be indicated, so that anybody who reads the bar graph can find out what the number actually is.
How do you work out frequency from a frequecny density histogram?
class width times frequency density gives you the frequency
What do line graphs and bar graphs have in common?
Bar graphs and line graphs are designed to show different values of two or more subjects. They both organize data. They both use an x-axis and a y-axis.
How do you graph a negative bar graph?
just have the numbers going up have a negative
-100 l
-50 l
0 l

The Reliability of pie charts in newspaper articles?
The reliability of pie charts in a newspaper depends on the reliability of the data sources. If the sources of data are correct and the graph is constructed correctly, then the pie chart is reliable.
Show an example of a pictograph?

What do you mean when you say a histogram is skewed to the right?
A right or positive skew means the data in the histogram will tail out to the right. See the related link figure 15.6 and it shows a right skew.
How can you use range when planning to draw a line graph?
You could use the range to select the scale for the axis.
A line graph is not a good way to represent the data as the number of CDs is a continuous variable, but the artists are a discrete, categoric variable.
A line graph should be used when both variables are continuous. A bar chart or bar graph should be used when one variable is continuous and one is discrete.
The pie graph is used for what kind of data?
Any kind of data - nominal, ordinal or interval - provided you can group the data into a few categories. Ideally not more than seven, though in exceptional cases, up to ten may be used.
a triple bar graph is where you show thrree different things by different colors.go to google and type triple bar graph for a picture.
At the modal value(s).
54 or 54.0
What are bar graph not good for?
bar graphs are usually used for results that have a variable whose units are described in words and the other variable whose units are described in numbers such as the y axis, the vertical line, is the number of people and the x axis, the line going horizontal, is the colour of eyes.
bar graphs are not useful for the y axis and x axis both units are in numbers. these are mainly used for line graphs
What is the difference between a line graph and a scatter graph?
A line graph would be what you plot for a function. for example, y = X2. Plotting this will result in a continuous line.
A scatter graph will result from measuring a population or an experiment.
For example, if you plotted the weight vs height for your class members, you would have a scatter graph.
