Creating a picture of your data Graphing Creating a picture of your data

A graph is… a picture of your data. Make sure it is a clear picture that helps your reader understand your data.

TAIL…elements of a good graph T = title (must name the graph) A = axes (x and y axes for line graphs, bar graphs, histograms, scatterplots, etc) I = intervals (fit your data to your graph using intervals that make sense. AVOID BREAKS!) L = labels (titles for the axes otherwise we don’t know what we are looking at!)

Bar Graph-compare data elements

Double Bar Graph-compare two groups

Line Graph (continuous data)

Double Line Graph- compare 2 sets of continuous data

Circle Graph or Pie chart (compare to the whole)

Scatter plot-to show data patterns

Box and Whisker-shows outliers
