OBJECTIVE
METHODOLOGY
The tools utilized by the students in this laboratory include MS Excel, a software that
allows for data presentation in various chart formats. The dataset applied in this laboratory is
derived from the first laboratory session, which displays the exam results of 20 students who
completed a math assessment. This information will be illustrated through different chart types,
including bar graphs, histograms, and pie charts.
RESULTS
Bar Chart:
Histogram:
1. Bar Chart
The bar chart illustrates the individual Math scores of a group of 20 students. Each bar
corresponds to a student’s score, providing a clear representation of the differences in their
performances. The varying heights of the bars indicate a wide range of scores among the students,
with some achieving significantly higher or lower results than others. This visualization allows us
to quickly identify outliers and see which students scored near the class average
2. Pie Chart
The pie chart divides the Math scores of all students into segments, with each slice
representing a unique score. Each score is assigned a distinct color and size, highlighting the
distribution but not effectively revealing patterns or ranges in performance. In contrast to a bar
chart, a pie chart is less suitable for comparing individual scores or observing overall performance
trends. Nevertheless, it can give a sense of the diversity of scores within the group.
3. Histogram
The histogram categorizes Math scores into intervals (for example, 60–70, 71–80, etc.)
along the x-axis, while the y-axis indicates the frequency (number of students) within each interval.
This chart effectively showcases the distribution of scores and indicates where the majority of
students have placed their scores. From the histogram, one can discern whether scores cluster in
particular ranges, such as around the middle section (70–80), suggesting that most students
performed close to average. Peaks in certain intervals reflect common score concentrations, while
areas with fewer scores exhibit less frequent results.
SUMMARY
These visual representations offer an in-depth look at student achievement in Math. The
bar chart facilitates comparison of individual scores, while the pie chart provides an overview of
score distribution, though it doesn't clearly show particular trends. The histogram is advantageous
for analyzing how frequently scores fall within distinct ranges. Together, these visuals can help
pinpoint overarching patterns, like average performance, as well as recognize individual anomalies
in Math scores.
