Displaying Qualitative Data


Graphic 1:
1. Create a pie chart reflecting the categories of articles for Magazine
1
2. Create a pie chart reflecting the categories of articles for
Magazine 2.
Pie chart Analysis:
 
The pie chart show the share of each category out of 360 in terms
of relative frequency. The more the relative frequency is the more
is the share in the pie chart for that category. We can compare the
charts in terms of share for a particular category. Pie charts show
which category has more share compared to the other.
 
Graphic 2:
Since the data is categorical the bar chart can be used to compare
the two magazines.
Graphic 2 Analyses:
 
The second graph compares each category with respect to
relative values as these values are side by side for each category.
Hence it becomes easier to compare. When we look at the graph
they appear almost same for each category i.e. the
bar for each category is almost same with slight deviations. These
kind of graphics cannot be used to find causal-effect relationship
and other summary statistics. Other than this Bar Charts are best
suitable for comparison.
 
Summarizing the Results

representation. Magazines are looking to target Young generation
