Data Displays

Multiple Select

Stem and leaf plots are a good data display because...

• They break down large numbers into groupings

• They show the correlation of a data set (positive or negative)

Multiple Select

Scatter plots are a good data display because...

• They show the percentage of the whole data set.

• They allow you to see a correlation from a set of imperfect data points.

Multiple Select

Histograms are good data displays because...

• They allow you to group your data values into a range of numbers

• They allow you to make a prediction of a future measurement

Multiple Select

Pie charts are a good data display because...

• They show the correlation of points

• They show the percentages of the whole data set

Multiple Select

Line graphs are a good data display because...

• They represent a percentage of the whole data set.

• They enable the viewer to make predictions about the results of data not yet recorded & show the change over time.

Multiple Select

Bar graphs are a good data display because...

• They make comparisons between different variables very easy to see.

• They are good at showing specific values of data, meaning that given one variable the other can easily be determined.

What type of chart should I use to visualize my data? Does it matter?

Yes, it matters. Choosing a type of chart that doesn’t work with your data can end up misrepresenting and skewing your data.
