Cards in this deck (4)
- 1—Bar graph.
Each bar shows a distinct variable. The bars are lined up
side by side along one axis so that they can be easily compared with
one another. Scientific bar graphs traditionally have the bars running
vertically - 2—Histogram.
quantifies the distribution of one variable
over a range of values.
- 3—Line graph.
The x-axis frequently represents time; the points represent average observations. The points may be connected by
lines, in which case the slope of the line between two points shows
the rate at which the variable changes.
- 4—Scattered plot.
Each point represents one member of a test population.
Lines never connect the individual points of a scatter plot, but a
best-fit line may be estimated to show a trend in the data, or better yet,
a mathematical equation may be used to calculate the line.
