Types of Graphs Powerpoint

This document discusses different types of graphs used to represent data: bar graphs show discrete data using bars of equal width; line graphs show continuous data over time by connecting data points with lines; pie graphs represent discrete data as proportional sectors of a circle. Examples are provided of bar graphs, line graphs, and pie graphs along with the key elements of each type of graph like axes, labels, scales. Questions are included about selecting the appropriate graph type to represent different sets of data.

Bar Graphs

Data that is counted and has no in-between value is called Pet Number of Children
discrete data. Discrete data is usually collected in a frequency Cat 12

• Bars must be carefully drawn to show the
data. 14

• There must be a gap between each bar. 12

• Each bar must be the same width. 10

plots are then joined with straight lines.

Pie Graphs
Pie charts show discrete data as proportional sectors of a circle.
Every sector of a pie chart is a proportion of the whole. You can explain what each sector
represents using an angle, fraction or percentage.
Being able to convert between fractions, percentages and angles is a key skill for answering
questions about data presented in a pie chart.

   

  We can use fraction, percentage and angle


equivalents to interpret the data in a pie
chart.

If the whole pie chart represents 120, the


value of the orange sector is 60.
Bar Graph & Pie Graph
Pie graphs do not show exact value, but percentage.

They are usually useful when comparing a large sample with


a small sample.

It is hard to present a large sample and a small sample in a


bar graph. So, pie graph is the best option to present that
data.
