Using Graphs to Represent Data

LEARNING GOAL

• Students understand there are


different ways to represent data

• Students understand which


graph to use depending on data
VOCABULARY
quantitative data that has to do with numbers

qualitative data that has to do with categories

univariate data with only one variable

bivariate data with two variables


LINE GRAPH
best for quantitative bivariate data

• Shows trends over time

• Can use more than one on the


same graph to compare data sets

• Good for small amounts of data


DOT PLOT
best for quantitative univariate data

• Counts how many times data


occurs (frequency)

• Good for small amounts of data


BOX & WHISKER PLOT
best for quantitative univariate data

• Can use more than one to


compare data on the same graph

• Good for large amounts of data


HISTOGRAM
best for quantitative univariate data

• Counts how many times data


occurs between set ranges

• Good for large amounts of data


SCATTER PLOT
best for quantitative bivariate data

• Great for analyzing correlation


between two variables

• Good for large amounts of data
