Graphs How to set up successful graphs
How to set up your graph!
How to set up your graph! Y Axis (This is for your dependent variable)
How to set up your graph! X Axis (This is for your independent variable)
TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer T - Title
TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer T - Title A - Axis Y Axis = Dependent Variable X Axis = Independent Variable
TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer Decide on an appropriate scale for each axis. T - Title Choose a scale that lets you make the graph as large as possible for your paper and data A – Axis S – Scale
How to determine scale Favorite Singer Number of Teachers Toby Keith 22 Madonna 15 Elvis 11 Sting 5 Sinatra 2 • Scale is determined by your highest & lowest number. • In this case your scale would be from 2 – 22.
How to determine Intervals Favorite Singer Number of Teachers Toby Keith 22 Madonna 15 Elvis 11 Sting 5 Sinatra 2 • The interval is decided by your scale. • In this case your scale would be from 2 – 22 and you want the scale to fit the graph. • The best interval would be to go by 5’s.
TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer The amount of space between one number and the next or one type of data and the next on the graph. The interval is just as important as the scale Choose an interval that lets you make the graph as large as possible for your paper and data T – Title A – Axis I – Interval S – Scale
TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer 25 T – Title 20 15 A – Axis 10 5 I – Interval 0 S – Scale
TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer T – Title Number of Teachers 25 20 A – Axis 15 10 I – Interval 5 0 Sinatra Sting Elvis Madonna Toby Keith LABEL your bars or Singers data points Give Labelthe your bars Y a. Axis. general What label. do those What do those numbers words mean? L – Labels S – Scale
When to use… • Bar graphs – Used to show data that are not continuous. – Allows us to compare data like amounts or frequency or categories – Allow us to make generalizations about the data – Help us see differences in data • Line Graphs – For continuous data – useful for showing trends over time
Circle Graph or Pie Graph • A circle graph is used to show a part of something relates to the whole. • This kind of graph is needed to show percentages effectively
Use a pie chart if you need to compare different parts of a whole, there is no time involved and there are not too many items (or categories).
