Question

Please Help ASAP!

The assessment for this lesson is a discussion about the following topic:

What factors should you consider when determining the best graph or display to represent a given set of data? In your answer, choose a set of data relevant to your life and explain the best way to display it.

You are required to thoughtfully respond to the topic according to the guidelines in the rubric below. Be sure to return to this page from time to time so that you can respond to classmates’ comments as well.

Answer 1

First off, you should see whether the data is qualitative or quantitative.

-Quantitative is the number that represents counts or measurements.

-Qualitative (aka Categorical) typically labels or non-numeric entries

So, and example of some qualitative graphs are:
-Bar Graphs: usually comparison of things
-Two Way Tables: typically a survey with the comparison of data
-Circle Graph (Pie Chart): percentages being compared from different categories
-Frequency Tables: shows how often something appears

Some examples of quantitative graphs are:
-Box and Whiskers: shows the low, high, median of 1st quartile, median, median of 3rd quartile, and the high of data
-Line Graph: shows the change of something over a period of time
-Histogram: compares the data using frequency intervals, like 1-5, 6-10, etc.
-Scatterplot: shows the correlation of the data
-Stem and Leaf: first number goes in stem, remaining parts of number goes in leaf depending on what the first number it was, and key to help

So if you're trying to link the graph to something in your life, the graph may vary depending on what the data is. If you're going height over the years you've lived, a line graph would be best. It really depends what in your life you are doing, so I hope I provided enough information to help you out. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Some factors you need to consider when determining a "best graph or display", include to see and recognize if the graph is quantitative, or qualitative. Quantitative graphs include Stem and Leaf, Scatterplot, Line Graph, or a Histogram. Quantitative Graphs include Bar Graphs, Circle graphs, Frequency Tables, and Two Way Tables. These are the factors you need to consider when determining the best graph or display to represent a given set of data. If you're trying to connect a graph or data display, to something in your life, then it could include, a graph showing how tall you've grown in the past 6 years or 10. For this, it would be best to use a Line Graph, because it
