What is a Histogram?

Back

A Histogram is a type of bar graph that represents the frequency distribution of numerical data. It shows how many data points fall within a specified range of values.

What is measured on the x-axis of a graph?

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable or categories being measured, such as 'Types of Social Media' in a social media usage graph.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the dependent variable, which is the outcome being measured, such as 'Number of Animals' in a wildlife population graph.

Front

What is a Circle Graph?

Back

A Circle Graph, also known as a pie chart, is a circular statistical graphic divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportions.

Front

What is being measured in a wildlife population graph?

Back

The graph measures the 'Wildlife Population', indicating the number of different species or total animals in a given area.

Front

What is the purpose of a Bar Graph?

Back

A Bar Graph is used to compare different categories of data by representing them with rectangular bars, where the length of each bar is proportional to the value it represents.

Front

What is the difference between a Line Graph and a Bar Graph?

Back

A Line Graph displays data points connected by lines to show trends over time, while a Bar Graph uses bars to compare different categories.

Front

What is the significance of the scale on the y-axis?

Back

The scale on the y-axis determines the range of values represented and helps in accurately interpreting the data being presented.

Front

How do you interpret the data in a Histogram?

Back

In a Histogram, the height of each bar indicates the frequency of data points within each range, allowing for quick visual analysis of distribution.

Front

What is the importance of labeling axes in a graph?

Back

Labeling axes is crucial for clarity, as it informs the viewer about what variables are being measured and their units.
