1) What is a scatter plot? For what type of data is a scatter plot usually used for?

A) A scatter plot is a visual tool utilized to illustrate the connection between two variables. It usually
consists of points on a coordinate grid, where each point signifies a data point, helping to detect
trends or patterns in the data. In general, scatter plots are employed to depict the association,
whether it's correlation or trends, between two continuous or numeric (quantitative) variables.

2) What are the imitations of using a pie plot?

A) Pie charts are typically used when you have one categorical variable and one continuous numeric
variable to create a visualization.

The general limitations of pie charts include the following:

They are not suitable for representing complex data with a large number of categories in the
categorical variable.

Without proper labeling, it can be challenging to understand the represented categories.

Without appropriate data labels indicating the degree or area of each segment within a category, it
can be difficult to compare and comprehend, especially when segment sizes are similar.

Pie charts provide a sense of the proportion of each category in relation to one another but do not
provide precise numeric values for each category.

While it is possible to add numeric values, doing so can make the chart less relevant, as it goes
beyond the chart's intended purpose.

3) Name two charts that can be used for each of the following:

a. Comparing values between groups:

1. Bar Chart

2. Column Chart

b. Observing relationships between variables:

1. Scatter Plot

2. Line chart

c. Showing a part-to-whole composition:

1. Pie Chart

2. Donut chart
d. Looking at how data is distributed:

1. Histogram

2. Box plot

e. Looking at geographical data:

1. Map Chart

2. 3d Map Chart

f. Showing change over time:

1. Line Chart

2. Indexed Line Chart

4) Differentiate between the following charts in terms of data supported, and application:

a. Comparing Box Plots and Histograms:


Data Utilization: Box plots require only one quantitative variable to construct an effective
chart. Histograms can be constructed using both qualitative and quantitative variables.

Purpose: Box Plots are well-suited for comparing data distributions and identifying outliers.
Histograms offer a visual summary of data distribution and are valuable for grasping the
spread of data.
b. Comparing Histograms and Bar Charts:
Data Utilization: Histograms represent the distribution of continuous data. Bar charts can
convey relationships using a single qualitative variable and one quantitative variable.

Application: Histograms are employed to visualize data frequency and distribution. Bar charts
are appropriate for comparing categories or discrete data points.

c. Comparing Scatter Plots and Bubble Charts:


Data Utilization: Scatter Plots depict relationships between two quantitative variables.
Bubble Charts, similar to scatter plots, expand on them by incorporating a third quantitative
variable, which is represented by the size of the bubbles.
Application: Scatter Plots illustrate correlations or patterns between two variables. Bubble
Charts visualize relationships among three variables, with bubble size adding an extra
dimension
d. Contrasting Pie Charts and Donut Charts:
Data Utilization: Pie Charts represent the proportional comparison of quantitative attributes
within qualitative variables, requiring both a qualitative and a quantitative variable to create
the chart. Donut Charts are similar to pie charts but do not display the angle of each
category sector, focusing solely on the proportional area.
Application: Pie Charts reveal the composition of a whole, while Donut Charts are often
used for aesthetic purposes without sacrificing data clarity.
e. Comparing Line Charts and Area Charts:
Data Utilization: Line Charts require a single quantitative variable that varies over time. Area
Charts fill the area beneath the line chart and also rely on one quantitative variable over
time.
Application: Line Charts emphasize data trends with clarity. Area Charts highlight both
trends and the magnitude of change over time.
f. Contrasting Choropleth Maps and Heat Maps:
Data Utilization: Choropleth Maps represent data using color-coded geographic regions,
necessitating one quantitative variable and a geographical positional variable. Heat Maps
visualize data intensity, often on a grid, and require one quantitative variable and a positional
variable.
Application: Choropleth Maps are effective for displaying regional variations in data. Heat
Maps reveal data concentrations or patterns, proving useful in various fields such as data
analysis and heat tracking.

5) Using Tableau and any chart of your choice, make a visual representation of the data from
salary.csv. Preprocessing the data

A)To start, any unnecessary cells that could cause inconsistencies in the creation of a uniform column
with consistent data types were removed.

After that, the salary range was replaced with the average value of the range to convert it into a
numerical variable.

Furthermore, improvements were implemented in the qualification column by adding a category for
"lack of a degree" and merging cells when required. The final outcome is as follows

0- 1.9 2- 4.9 5-9.9 10 +


Qualification Relevant Exp yrs yrs yrs yrs

The provided tabular data consists of two categorical variables and three numerical variables. The
primary purpose of this dataset is to provide an overview of income levels for individuals with
different educational qualifications, relevant work experience, and overall professional experience.

A side-by-side column chart is an efficient visual representation for displaying this data. It enables
straightforward comparisons with other salary profiles. To enhance clarity, we have applied color
coding to the relevant experience columns, provided clear labels for the data, and included filtering
options for qualifications and relevant work experience to create customized visualizations based on
specific criteria.
