1 Graph Sketches (pg. 34)

2 Bar Graph Compares measurements Used to display categorical data

3 Histogram Uses vertical columns to show frequency Groups numbers into ranges.

4 Frequency Distribution Represents the frequency of the outcomes in a sample

5 Line Graph Represents data that is connected and changes continuously over time

6 Scatter Plot Graph It shows the correlation between 2 sets of data.

7 Pie Chart A circle is divided into sectors which represent a proportion of a the whole.

8 What are the best ways to display data based on the way I have collected information? The best way to display data is choosing appropriate graph based on the information being displayed. -Bar Graph: compares categorical data -Histogram: compares data (groups numbers into ranges. -Line Graph: Shows change over time -Frequency: shows frequency of the outcome in a sample -Scatter Plot: shows correlation in data

9 What is the difference between a bar graph and histogram? Bar Graph Histogram - groups numbers - Groups numbers into into categories. Ranges. - bars are not - Bars are connected connected.

10 What type of graph would I use to show how much rain has fallen throughout a day? Line Graph Your Question: Which type of graph shows correlation between two data? Scatter Plot

12 Creating Graphs Favorite color # of students Favorite color at Sterling

13 Rate of ice cube melting Time (Sec) Volume Melted (mL)

14 Weight of Students at Park View High School It should be a histogram with the bars connected but the bars are not connected in this. Its More like a bar graph instead of a histogram.

15 Determining if Age effect Height Age (years) Height (cm)

16 Unit Vocabulary Theory: Explains hypothesis and observation that have been supported by testing. Law: It tells you how things work; summary of many experimental observations and experiments. Precise: How well experimental values agree with each other. -almost accurate Accurate: agreement between experimental data and a known value (exact measurement)

18 Model: A representation of an object or a system. Scientific Method: A series of steps that scientists use to answer questions and solve problems. Hypothesis: Educated guess; possible explanation or answer to a question Independent Variable (IV): Variables changed/manipulated by the experimenter. Dependent Variable (DV): data collected/ results

19 Constant: Conditions that stay the same in an experiment. Controlled Experiment: an experiment that isolates the effect of one variable on a system by holding constant all variables except the one under investigation. Control Group: The opposite of what you are trying to prove. Mean: the average Median: The middle number in a set of data, when the numbers are put in order from lowest to highest.

20 Range: the difference between the smallest number and the biggest number. Bar Graph: Graphical display of data using bars of different height. Histogram: Graphical display of data using bars of different height. Frequency distribution: Table that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample. Line Graph: Graph that shows information that is connected in some way. (ie. Change over time)

21 Scatter Plot: Values of two variables are plotted along 2 axes, the “pattern” of the resulting point reveal a correlation (positive or negative) Line of best fit: A line on a graph showing the general direction that a group of points seem to be heading. Scientific notation: International system for measurement. Scientific Notation: Used to express really big or really small numbers.
