Identifying Data Displays

What type of graphs is this?

• Scatter Plot

• Box Plot

• Histogram

• Frequency Table

Why would you use a circle graph?

• when you have continuous data

• to compare the frequency of the data

• when the data is too large for any other graph

• to show how the total data is divided into parts

Why would you use a histogram?

• good for continuous data and when you want to see intervals

• when organizing numerical data

• useful to compare how things change over time

• when you want to show the total divided into parts

Identify the following data display.

• Scatter Plot

• Stem and Leaf Plot

• Line Graph

• Pictograph

Identify the following data display.

• Relative Frequency Table

• Line Plot

• Frequency Table

• Scatter Plot

Identify the following data display.

• Bar Graph

• Scatter Plot

• Segmented Bar Graph

• Line Plot

Why would you use a line plot?

• Wen looking for different intervals

• When finding the mean, median, mode, and range

• When you have a large amount of data

• When you have continuous data

What is one important fact about histograms?

• They are to show the total data divided into parts

• They are used for numerical data

• It is to see the change over time

• Their intervals must NOT overlap

Which of the following can be used to organize numerical data?

• Line Graph

• Stem and Leaf Plot

• Circle Graph

• Bar Graph

Why would you use a bar graph?

• When you want to show the change over time

• When the data has a small range

• When organizing numerical data

• When comparing sets of data
