Graphs How to set up successful graphs in Mrs. Goodman’s class!

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 NFL History - Touchdown Leaders T - Title

TAILS Y Axis = Dependent Variable NFL History - Touchdown Leaders T - Title A - Axis X Axis = Independent Variable

TAILS NFL History - Touchdown Leaders 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 Athlete Number of Touchdowns Jerry Rice 208 Emmitt Smith 175 LADAINIAN TOMLINSON 162 Terrell Owens RANDY MOSS 156 154 http: //espn. go. com/nfl/history/leaders • Scale is determined by your highest & lowest number. • In this case your scale would be from 154 -208.

How to determine Intervals Athlete Number of Touchdowns Jerry Rice 208 Emmitt Smith 175 LADAINIAN TOMLINSON 162 Terrell Owens RANDY MOSS 156 154 • The interval is decided by your scale. • In this case your scale would be from 154 -208 and you want the scale to fit the graph. • The best interval would be to go by 50’s.

TAILS 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 NFL History - Touchdown Leaders 250 T – Title 200 150 A – Axis 100 50 I – Interval 0 S – Scale

TAILS NFL History - Touchdown Leaders T – Title # of Touch Downs 250 200 A – Axis 150 100 I – Interval 50 0 Randy Moss Terrell Owens L. T. Emmitt Smith Jerry Rice Athlete or Label. LABEL your Y your Axis. bars What do those data numbers Givepoints themean? bars a general label. What do those 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
