PRESENTATION AND

ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS
DATA
Lesson 1 – Kinds of Graphs for
Data Presentation
OBJECTIVES:
1. Compare and contrast different graphs;
2. recognize that circle graphs are best used to compare the
parts of a whole;
3. recognize that bar graphs are used to compare facts;
4. recognize that a line graph is used to show changes over
time;
5. determine which type of graph is appropriate for
representing a given set of data presented; and
6. connect graphs to data found in the real world.
Direction: Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the
chosen letter on your notebook or on a separate sheet of
paper. If you are not aware or unsure of some items, choose
the answer that is best based on your perception. Then go
back to those items as you continue with the lesson.
1. Which of the following graphs uses line segments to
connect data points?
a. Line graph b. Pie chart c. Bar graph d. Histogram
2. Which of the following graphs uses rectangles erected on
the horizontal axis to summarize a set of quantitative data?
a. Line graph b. Pie chart c. Bar graph d. Histogram
3. Which of the following is a circular-pie-like
graphic representation with wedges or
sectors that show how much of the whole
each part makes up?
a. Line graph b. Pie chart c. Bar graph d.
Histogram
4. Which graph uses shaded region to display
quantitative data graphically and
independently?
a. Line graph b. Pie chart c. Bar graph d.
Histogram
5. Which type of graph is this?

a. Line graph
b. Pie chart
c. Bar graph
d. Histogram
6.What does a pie chart allow you to see?
a. information about the proportion of parts relative to the
whole.
b. the total number of each category
c. how much data occurs within a range of numbers
d. the spread of the data
7. Which chart will show the direction of change in numbers
over a period of time by connecting data points?
a. Line graph c. Bar graph
b. Pie chart d. Histogram
8. The type of chart that best represents percentages of a
whole is:
a. Line graph c. Bar graph
b. Pie chart d. Histogram
9. Which type of chart displays bars side by
side?
a. Line graph c. Bar graph
b. Pie chart d. Histogram
10. The type of chart where the height of
the bar represents a value is called:
a. Line graph c. Bar graph
b. Pie chart d. Histogram
QUESTION:

What is the purpose of


presentation of data?
A graph is an alternative way to present
data. It involves a lot of communication
power. A quick look of these graphs may
enable the reader to have an instant and
meaningful picture of the vast amount of
data.
Definition of Graph
• It is an alternative way to present data.
• It involves a lot of communication power.
• In businesses, it is used to help them
convey information and to make sense of
data.
• It always describes something about
business.
Most commonly used different kinds of graphs
• Line graph - uses line segments to connect data points. It is useful in
showing the trends
or in determining relationships between two variables. It can also be
applied if the
variable plotted along the X-axis (horizontal line) is related to time (year,
month, day,
clock time).
• Bar graph - uses rectangles erected om the horizontal axis to
summarize a set of
quantitative data. Here, the height of the bar represents the measured
value or
frequency; that is. The higher or taller the bar, the greater the value.
• Histogram - is a graphical representation of the frequency distribution.
It is a
representation of tabulated frequencies (Y-axis) using adjacent erected
rectangles with
their corresponding class intervals (X-axis).
Sample Representations of the Different Kinds of Graphs
Line Graph
• a. Title: The title is the heading written on top of the graph.
• b. Scale: Do not forget the numbers on the X-axis which indicates
the units of time. On
the Y-axis, the numbers indicate the units of frequency. Be cautious
on the scale of
the Y-axis. If the scale is set too high or too low, the trends in the
data can be
misleading.
• c. Labels: Identify the variables on the X- and Y-axes.
• d. Data points: Plot all the data points on the X- and Y-axes. Each
data point is
connected to the next point by a line.
• e. Line: Create the line by connecting all data points.
• f. Description: It will be helpful if you will have an explanation of
your graph.
BAR GRAPH
HISTOGRAM
Pie graph is also called a circle graph. It is a circle with the wedges or
sectors to show how much of the whole each part makes up. Each slice
of the pie is written as percentage. To get the measure of each sector
in the chart, we compute the following: amount of an item
divided by total amount of all items x 360⁰
