Types of Graphs Commonly Used in


Presenting Research Data
Bar Graph/ Chart Diagram (horizontal or
vertical)
Pie Chart
Component Bar diagram/chart
Histogram
Frequency Polygon
Late Diagram
Scatterpoint; Scatterplot; Dot Diagram,
Scattergraph

Bar Graph
Nature of variable:
Qualitative or discrete
quantitative
Functions: For
comparisons of absolute
or relative counts, rates,
other numerical
measurements between
categories of a
qualitative or a discrete
quantitative variable

Pie Chart
Nature of variable: Qualitative
Function: Shows the breakdown of a
group or total where the number of
categories is not too many

Component Bar Diagram/


chart
Variable:
Qualitative
Function: Same as
the pie chart

Histogram
Variable: Continuous, quantitative
Function: Graphic representation of
the frequency distribution of a
continuous variable or measurement
including age groups

Frequency Polygon
Variable: Quantitative
Function: Graphic representation of
the frequency distribution of a
continuous variable or measurement
including age groups (same as
histogram)

Line Diagram
Variable: Time Series
Function: Shows trend data or
changes with tome or age with
respect to some other variable

Scatter plot diagram


Scatterpoint, dot diagram,
scattergraph
Variable: Quantitative
Function: Show correlation between
two quantitative variables
