1.1 – Advantages & Disadvantages
of Different GraphsCompare information from different graphs
Identify the advantages and disadvantages of different types of graphs
![Page 10: REPRESENTING DATA Chapter 1. VOCABULARY Bar Graph – uses horizontal or vertical bars to represent data Line Graph – uses a line to show changes in](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b237f8b9ab059995f83/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is each graph the best for?
Bar graphs are best for comparing data across categories.
Circle graphs are best for comparing categories to the whole using percents.
Line graphs are best for showing change over time.
Pictographs are best for comparing data that can be easily counted and represented using symbols.

Double Line Graph Remember to
label your x and y axis and title your graph. * This graph is missing a title.
Include a key that tells what each line represents. Ex. Blue = Tom Purple = John

Double Bar Graph Remember to
label your x and y axis
and title your graph.

1.2 Misrepresenting Data Explain how the size of intervals on a graph
could be misleading
Explain how the visual representation of a graph could misrepresent data
Explain how the size of bars on a graph could be misleading
Identify conclusions that do not agree with a given data set or graph and explain the misrepresentation

Misleading Graphs – Three Ways1. Distorting the scale by using a break in the y-axis
![Page 16: REPRESENTING DATA Chapter 1. VOCABULARY Bar Graph – uses horizontal or vertical bars to represent data Line Graph – uses a line to show changes in](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b237f8b9ab059995f83/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Misleading Graphs
2. Distorting the size of the visual by making a symbol appear larger than others

QUESTION You see two
different examples of graphs showing healthy choices sold at the cafeteria.
If you had to
convince Mr. Wight that we should continue selling healthy choices, which graph would you choose?
![Page 20: REPRESENTING DATA Chapter 1. VOCABULARY Bar Graph – uses horizontal or vertical bars to represent data Line Graph – uses a line to show changes in](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b237f8b9ab059995f83/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ANSWER If I had to convince Mr. Wight that we should continue selling healthy choices in the cafeteria, I would choose the line graph because it shows that the trend is increasing and clearly shows that people are buying more healthy foods.

Distort each of the graphs, so that your information looks even MORE impressive. You cannot change the data, but you can change the graphs.

1.3 Critiquing Data Presentation
Explain how the graph is used to represent the data from a given situation
New Vocabulary Terms:
Stacked Bar Graph – has bars stacked instead of side by side
![Page 25: REPRESENTING DATA Chapter 1. VOCABULARY Bar Graph – uses horizontal or vertical bars to represent data Line Graph – uses a line to show changes in](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b237f8b9ab059995f83/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Important Factors When Critiquing a Graph
1) Graph Type: is it the best choice for displaying the data?
2) Graph Format: does its design represent the data accurately? (no distortions)
3) Graph Usefulness: is it informative and does it support a claim/argument?
