Can a Pie graph represent a probability?

Depends on the data, but normally it can. Suppose you have a bag of marbles. There are 100. 5 are purple, 20 are blue, 25 are green, and 50 are red. That means when you make a pie chart 5% will be purple, 20% blue, 25% green, and 50% red. So you can tell from the chart the probility of picking out any color if you take one random marble from the bag. This is an example but the principle is true to many other things.

Can a pie chart represent who will go 1st 2nd 3rd or 4th in sequence?

No, but it can represent the probability of such an outcome.

Why is a bar graph unsuitable when plotting temperature against rate of reaction?

The two variables are continuous and most likely well measured variables that have a relationship. Therefore, a bar charge which requires the grouping of data, either by rate of reaction or temperature would provide a less meaningful plot than a plot of the (x,y) points, also called a scatter plot. Regression could be use to identify the relationship.

Do bar graphs start at the number zero?

A bar graph's data doesn't always start with zero but the scale on the y axis should. If you are not going to start the scale with zero then you have to put a squiggly line at the bottom to show that you skipped this space.

Who first used the Pie Chart?

The inventor of the Pie Chart was not Florence Nightingale. The earliest known pie chart is generally credited to William Playfair's Statistical Breviary of 1801, where two such graphs are used according to WikiPedia

Is it better to use a bar graph or a line graph when comparing two things?

How can a line graph help make predictions?

Well, this can be a bit tricky at times. Suppose if the pattern is increasing, most likely the date you will be predicting will be higher than the latest date. If it is decreasing, then most likely the date you will be predicting will be lower than the recent date.

What is the difference between a frequency histogram and a relative frequency histogram?

Both divide the data into discrete groups or intervals. The frequency histogram gives the number of times the data occur in the particular group or interval, while the relative frequency histogram gives the fraction of times the data occur in the particular group or interval.

How do you draw a line graph on a Microsoft Word?

Would a line graph or bar graph be better for showing the number of birds of each color in a population?

a bar graph because the line graph shows something in a period of time. Also a bar graph would show the number of birds and the color of them at the time while a line graph would show only the number of birds and the time.

Importance of line graph?

How do you create a histogram in Excel?

= = First of all, you need to open an Excel spreadsheet. Then go to 'TOOLS' in the menu bar and select 'ADD INS.' Choose 'ANALYSIS TOOL PACK' and click okay. Now we're on to making the histogram~ On your excel spreadsheet (the one that contains the data) you're going to have to to create. a column for the number of bins needed. This 'bin' of which I spoke of is the grouping of data based on the range of data you have. Find the range of data by doing this~ First, go to 'DATA' in the menu bar and select 'SORT.' Then choose the column you would like to sort and choose ascending or descending order. Then choose a different column on your spreadsheet and simply add the bins Navigate to "TOOLS, DATA ANALYSIS" and then select Histogram. Click on the small box to the right for input range. Highlight the column on your spreadsheet containing the data that you choose to be binned. This will turn into your frequency value. After that, highlight the bins column for the bin range. Go to 'OUTPUT OPTIONS' and choose 'NEW WORKSHEET PLY:' and then choose a name for the worksheet. It will be set up with a brand new, titled spreadsheet with 2 columns (bin and frequency). Then you highlight the frequency column of data and go to 'CHART WIZARD' pick column graph. Click on 'SERIES TAB CATEGORY (X) LABELS' to make sure that your x axis is labeled 'BIN.' Then you just complete it like normal. Help from~ http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~pavone/particle-www/teachers/analysis/HISTOGRAMS.htm
