Parts of The Line Graph: Parts of The Line Graph

The document discusses different ways to organize and present data visually, including histograms, bar graphs, line graphs, and pie charts. It provides details on what each graph type is, how it represents data, and its key parts. Histograms show the distribution of one variable using bars of different heights. Bar graphs are similar but with separated bars to represent counts across categories. Line graphs display changing data points over time. Pie charts show relationships between parts and a whole using a circular graph divided into proportional sectors.

HISTOGRAM - is a graphical representation showing a visual impression of HISTOGRAM - is a graphical representation showing a visual impression of
the distribution of data. A histogram consists of tabular frequencies, shown the distribution of data. A histogram consists of tabular frequencies, shown
as adjacent rectangles, erected over intervals. The height of a rectangle is as adjacent rectangles, erected over intervals. The height of a rectangle is
also equal to the frequency. also equal to the frequency.
