Graphing - Science - King SLO

What does it mean if a graph shows a plateau?

• A plateau indicates that the variable has stabilized and is not changing over time.

• A plateau shows that the variable is increasing rapidly.

• A plateau means the variable is decreasing steadily.

• A plateau indicates that the variable is fluctuating frequently.

What does the x-axis represent in a graph?

• The vertical axis that represents the dependent variable.

• The horizontal axis that typically represents the independent variable.

• The axis that represents the scale of the graph.

• The axis that indicates the maximum value of the graph.

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

• Quantitative data

• Categorial data

• Time series data

• Continuous data

What is the purpose of labeling axes on a graph?

• To provide context and clarity about what each axis represents.

• To make the graph look more colorful and appealing.

• To confuse the reader with unnecessary information.

• To indicate the scale of the graph only.

What is a conclusion you can draw from a decreasing line on a graph?

• A decreasing line indicates that the value of the variable is declining over time.

• A decreasing line shows that the variable is increasing rapidly.

• A decreasing line suggests that the variable is stable and unchanging.

• A decreasing line means that the variable has reached its maximum value.

What is a bar graph?

• A type of chart that uses lines to represent data trends.

• A visual representation of data using bars of different heights or lengths to compare quantities.

• A method of organizing data in a table format.

• A diagram that shows the relationship between two variables.

What is the significance of the scale on a graph?

• The scale determines the intervals and range of values represented on the axes.

• The scale is used to measure the height of the graph.

• The scale indicates the color scheme of the graph.

• The scale is irrelevant to the data presented.

What can you conclude if a line graph shows an upward trend?

• The value of the variable is decreasing over time.

• The value of the variable is constant over time.

• The value of the variable is increasing over time.

• The value of the variable fluctuates randomly.

What does the y-axis represent in a graph?

• The horizontal axis that represents the independent variable.

• The vertical axis that typically represents the dependent variable.

• The axis that shows the scale of the graph.

• The axis that represents the title of the graph.

How do you determine the total number of participants in a survey from a bar graph?

• You count the number of bars in the graph.

• You add the heights of all the bars to find the total number of participants.

• You take the average height of the bars.

• You multiply the height of the tallest bar by the number of bars.
