distribution
______ is the process of adding, deleting, calculating, and reorganizing data before using it in a chart.
data preparation
A ______ is a line chart combined with background shades.
Band chart
Line charts, step charts, band charts are all examples of data ________ charts
evolution
a _____ chart represents categorical data with bars and their height or length is proportional to the values.
bar
T or F: a bar chart shows comparisons among discrete categories.
true
bar charts, bullet charts, and heat map charts are all examples of _______ charts.
comparison
pie charts, pareto charts, and waterfall charts are all examples of data _______ charts.
composition
scatter plot charts, and bubble charts are examples of data ______ charts.
relationship
A _______ chart presents the cumulative effects of either positive or negative contribution to reach that net value.
waterfall
T or F: A bullet chart or graph looks like a traditional thermometer.
true
A ______ displays values in a matrix and represents them as colors.
heat map
A ______ chart or graph features a single measure, which compares to one or more neasures and displays it in the context of qualitative ranges of performance.
bullet
Data ______ charts are used to see how a part compares to the whole and how a total value can be divided into shares.
composition
A _______ chart shows you an accurate distribution of continuous data. The data values are distributed into bins which are represented as columns.
histogram
A _____ chart is a type of chart which contains both bars and a line graph.
pareto
the pareto principle states that in a given situation, 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes also known as the ______ rule.
80/20
A ______ chart is a circular statistical graph that is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion.
pie
T or F: pie charts are best used for making part-to-whole comparisons.
true
Data _______ charts are used to compare the magnitude of values to each other and can be used to easily find the lowest and highest values in the data.
comparison
A ______ is a graphical display of five statistical values (the minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and maximum) that summarize the distribution of a set of data.
boxplot
Data ______ charts are used to see how quantitative values are distributed along an axis from lowest to highest.
distribution
T or F: the purpose of using the band chart is representing data during a period against specific intervals.
true
the end cash balance = starting cash balance + all _____ - all expenses
income
T or F: the waterfall chart is commonly used in financial departments of small to large buisnesses
true
______ chart is also called the flying brick or Mario chart
waterfall
A _______ chart is used to show an initial value is increased and decreased by a series of intermediate values, leading to a final value.
waterfall
A ______ displays relationships between two variables and determines how closely the two variables are related.
scatter plot
A _____ chart shows the relationship between data in 3 numeric dimensions: x-axis, y-axis, and the size of bubble.
bubble chart
Data ______ charts are used to analyze trends in your dataset and how a particular dataset performed during a specific time period.
evolution
A _____ chart displays information as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. they are nist often used to visualize data that changes over time.
line
A _____ chart displays changes that occur at irregular intervals.
Step
T or F: A step chart used horizontal and vertical lines to connect data points which make a step-like progress.
true
T or F: 80% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.
false, 90%.
