What do you think is the best graphical presentation of his data and why?
Graph is a diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of two
variables, each measured along one of a pair of axes at right angles. Graphs are a great way to
visualize data and display statistics. They highlight the salient features of the data. They can show
relationships that are not obvious from studying a list of numbers. They can also provide a
convenient way to compare different sets of data.
BAR GRAPH
A bar graph is a visual tool that uses bars to compare data among categories. A bar graph
may run horizontally or vertically. The important thing to know is that the longer the bar, the greater
its value. Bar graphs consist of two axes.
Used to:
- compare data at a particular time
- show increase or decrease in values
- for displaying data that is classified into nominal or ordinal categories.
Steps in constructing a bar graph.
1. Draw two perpendicular lines intersecting each other at a point O.
2. Choose a suitable scale to determine the height of each bar.
3. On the horizontal line, draw the bars at equal width with corresponding heights of
each category.
4. The space between the bars should be equal.
The angle at the center corresponding to the particular observation component is given by
𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑡
× 360°
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
Example. (please refer to the data on the first page) For athletics, the central angle is
45
× 360° = 91.01°
178
The table shows the computed value of the central angle and percentage of each component.

LINE GRAPH
A line graph is a series of data points connected by straight line segments on two axes. Line
graphs are drawn so that the independent data are on the horizontal a-axis (e.g. time) and the
dependent data are on the vertical y-axis. Points are plotted based on the relationship of the
quantities and these points are connected by a line. Line graphs give a quick analysis of data.
Used to:
- show relationship between variable
- show trends and changes of data over a period of time
- compare variables
Steps in constructing a line graph
1. Find the range in values. There are two sets of values. The month ranges from
January to December and monthly electric consumption ranges from 104 to 148.
2. Determine a scale. Start with the horizontal scale. If you are using graph paper, let 1
unit on the graph paper equal 1 unit of the values you are graphing. Determine
whether the greatest value will fit on the graph. If it doesn't, then change the scale
and try again. Now repeat this process for the vertical scale.
3. Label the graph. Mark each unit across the horizontal scale and along the vertical
scale. Label the marks by the units they represent.
4. Plot the points and connect them.
5. Give the graph a title
HISTOGRAM
A histogram is used to summarize discrete or continuous data. In other words, it provides a
visual interpretation of numerical data by showing the number of data points that fall within a
specified range of values (called “bins”). It is similar to a vertical bar graph. However, a histogram,
unlike a vertical bar graph, shows no gaps between the bars.
Histograms can display a large amount of data and the frequency of the data values.
Used to:
- display the distribution of information or data over a continuous time period
- plot the frequency of variable occurrences in continuous data
Questions:
1. Which interest club preferred most?
2. How many students choose performing art than visual art?
3. How many students are there in all the clubs?
4. What information does the graph provide the reader?
A.2. Pepito, a Grade 7 student, still receives weekly allowance amidst the covid-19 pandemic.
He budgets it as shown in the table. Use pie graph to show how Pepito spends his weekly allowance.
Category Budget
CP prepaid load ₱100
Drinks and Chips ₱120
School Supplies ₱50
Savings ₱20
Questions:
1. What percent of Pepito’s budget is cp prepaid load?
2. By how many percent is the budget for drinks and chips greater than the savings?
3. What is the angle measure of the sector for school supplies?
4. What information can you observe in the graph?
A.3. In the Municipal Isolation Facility (MIF), the record section keeps the important details of
the persons who are subject for quarantine. One of the former isolated persons have fever during
his stay in the facility but tested negative from covid – 19. Construct a line graph for his temperature
record taken every four hours as shown in the table.
