Unit 2 Assignment Using Graphs To Describe Data

The document discusses using graphs to describe different types of variables in data. It explains how to classify variables as qualitative or quantitative, discrete or continuous. Pie charts and bar charts are appropriate for qualitative gender data, while histograms are suitable for displaying quantitative continuous heart rate data before and after exercise.

Using Graphs to Describe Data 2

Classify Each Variable as Qualitative or Quantitative Discrete or Quantitative

Continuous, and Create a Suitable Graph

 The first variable Gender is a nominal variable, hence it is qualitative and suitable for

the pie or bar chart.

 The other two variables Heart Rate before Exercise and Heart Rate after Exercise are

quantitative-continuous variables, appropriate for the histogram.

Graph for the Variable Gender

Pie Chart

The first variable Gender is a nominal variable, hence it is qualitative and suitable for

the pie or bar chart. Data may be arranged and shown as a proportion of the total using a pie

chart (In & Lee, 2017). As implied by the name, this type of representation takes slices, or

"pies," from a circle to depict the many categories that make up the total.

The pie-chart of the data tells that the males in the data are 54%, as they are 108 out

of 200 in numbers. Females are 46%, 92 out of 200.

Bar Chart

When comparing metric values across several subgroups of data or displaying a

distribution of data points, a bar chart is used. A bar chart shows us which groupings are most

prevalent or highest, as well as how those groups stack up against one another (Mishra, et al.,

2018).

Also, the bar-chart of the data tells that the males in the data are 54%, as they are 108

out of 200 in numbers. Females are 46%, 92 out of 200.

Graph for the Variable Resting and After Exercise

The variable Resting (Heart Rate before Exercise) and After Exercise (Heart Rate

after Exercise) are quantitative-continuous variable, appropriate for the histogram. One often

used graphing technique is the histogram. It is employed to provide an interval scale

summary of continuous or discrete data. It is frequently used to conveniently demonstrate the

key characteristics of the data distribution (Ross, 2017).

Resting

The histogram for the variable resting tell that:

 A count of 58 indicates that

scores in the 79–84 range

seem to be the most common.

 With counts of 51 and 43,

respectively, scores between

69-74 and 84-89 also seem to

be typical.

 Between 59–64 and 94–99,

there aren't many ratings.

After Exercise

The histogram for the variable After Exercise tells that:

 53 persons seem to be the most

typical follower count after

exercise, with 73–78.

 After exercising, a sizable

portion of the population—46

and 45, respectively—had 68–

73 and 78–83 followers.

 After exercising, very few

individuals had more than 103 followers.
