Exploring Bar Graphs and Dot Plots

What is the primary purpose of using graphs in data representation?

• To confuse the viewer

• To simplify and clarify data presentation

• To increase data complexity

• To replace numerical data

What is an advantage of using bar graphs?

• They use minimal space

• They allow for detailed descriptions

• They enable quick comparisons between categories

• They can display large texts

What does a bar graph typically use to represent different categories of data?

• Dots

• Circles

• Lines

• Bars
