September 7BarLine Graphs

This document discusses different types of graphs and how to read and interpret data from bar graphs, line graphs, double-line graphs, and circle graphs. It provides examples of each with questions to answer using the graphs. Bar graphs display categorical data and are good for comparison. Line graphs show how data changes over time. Double graphs can compare two related data sets. Circle graphs show parts of a whole with sectors representing percentages.

SEPTEMBER 7,2011

Objectives: Organize data in tables and graphs. Choose a table or graph to display data. Vocabulary: bar graph, line graph, circle, graph Warm-Up
1. Draw and label a number line. Then plot the points 2, 0, and 4. Evaluate each expression for the given value of x. 2. 2x + 1 for x = 3 4. |x + 6| for x = 10 1 3. x + 3 for x = 8 4

Types of Graphs
A bar graph displays data with vertical or horizontal bars. Bar graphs are a good way to display data that can be organized into categories. Using a bar graph, you can quickly compare the categories.

A double-bar graph can be used to compare two data sets. A double-bar graph has a key to distinguish between the two sets of data.

Example 1: Reading and Interpreting Bar Graphs


Use the graph to answer each question. A. Which casserole was ordered the most? B. About how many total orders were placed? C. About how many more tuna noodle casseroles were ordered than king ranch casseroles?

D. About what percent of the total orders were for baked ziti?

Use the graph to answer each question.feature A. Which received the same satisfaction rating for each SUV? B. Which SUV received a better rating for mileage?

Types of Graphs Continued


A line graph displays data using line segments. Line graphs are a good way to display data that changes over a period of time.

A double-line graph can be used to compare how two related data sets change over time. A double-line graph has a key to distinguish between the two sets of data.

Example 3: Reading and Interpreting Line Graphs Use the graph to answer each question.

A. At what time was the humidity the lowest? B. During which 4-hour time period did the humidity increase the most?

Example 4: Reading and Interpreting Double-Line Graphs Use the graph to answer each question. A. In which month did station A charge more than station B?

B. During which month(s) did the stations charge the same for gasoline?

A circle graph shows parts of a whole. The entire circle represents 100% of the data and each sector represents a percent of the total. Circle graphs are good for comparing each category of data to the whole set.

Reading Math The sections of a circle graph are called sectors.
