Graphing Techniques and Data Representation

Miss Gion explains how to create a correlation graph using a spreadsheet. The tutorial covers selecting data, creating an XY scatter plot, labeling axes, adding a trend line, and using the Snipping Tool to capture the graph. It also includes tips on resizing the graph while maintaining aspect ratio and concludes with advice on adding descriptive language to the document.

What is the first step in creating a correlation graph using a spreadsheet?

• Select the data you want to graph.

• Choose the type of graph.

• Label the axes.

• Add a trend line.

When selecting data for a graph, which column is typically used for the x-axis?

• The leftmost column

• The column with the least data

• The rightmost column

• The column with the most data

Which graph type is recommended for showing correlation in a spreadsheet?

• Line graph

• Bar chart

• Pie chart

• XY scatter

Why is it important to label the axes on a graph?

• To add more text to the graph

• To identify the data being represented

• To make the graph larger

• To make the graph look colorful

What should you consider when deciding whether to include a legend on your graph?

• The type of graph

• The color of the graph

• The number of data sets being graphed

• The size of the graph

What is the purpose of adding a trend line to a graph?

• To make the graph more colorful

• To add more text to the graph

• To highlight the data points

• To show the overall trend of the data

Which type of trend line is most likely suitable for linear data?

• Polynomial

• Linear

• Logarithmic

• Exponential

What tool can be used to capture a graph for documentation purposes?

• Snipping Tool

• Word Processor

• Spreadsheet

• Paint

Why is it important to resize a graph by holding down the shift button?

• To change the color of the graph

• To keep the aspect ratio intact

• To add more data points

• To make the graph larger

What should you do if you accidentally distort the graph while resizing?

• Delete the graph

• Start over

• Use Control Z to undo

• Ignore the distortion
