What type of data is best represented using a pie chart?

• Numerical data that cannot be divided into parts

• Qualitative data that cannot be categorized

• Continuous data that does not add up to 100%

• Categorical data that can be divided into parts that make up a whole

What is the main difference between a bar graph and a line graph?

• The main difference is that a bar graph represents data using bars, while a line graph represents data using lines.

• A bar graph uses circles to represent data, while a line graph uses squares.

• A bar graph is only used for qualitative data, while a line graph is only used for quantitative data.

• A bar graph is used for showing changes over time, while a line graph is used for comparing categories.
