Representing Data Graphically

How do you construct data representation?

• Bar Chart

• Pie Chart

• Line Graph

• Dot plot

• Stem Dot Plot

When representing data using a bar chart :

• the width of each bar must be uniform

• there is no gap between the bars

• the bars need to be evenly spaced

A line graph is suitable to shows the portion of each category of the whole data.

• True

• False
