graphs

Question 1

bar

Answer 1

change in height/magniutde

Question 2

cosmograph

Answer 2

creates an image of the movement or flow of materials/resources, contrasting the source with the destination

Question 3

flow chart

Answer 3

creates an image of a process, splitting events into smaller steps; consists of start points, end points, inputs, outputs, and routes which are commonly represented by basic symbols that are labeled

Question 4

line graph

Answer 4

used to display the comparison between 2 variables which are plotted on the horizontal x- and vertical y-axes of a grid; summarize how two pieces of information are related and how they vary depending on one another; the x-axis usually represents measures of time, while the y-axis usually represents percentage or measures of quantity; commonly used as time series graph that shows differences in direction.

Question 5

line of best fit

Answer 5

When graphing data that has a known linear relationship, or to determine if 2 variables have a linear relationship, a best fit line or regression line is commonly drawn. The purpose of a best fit line is to average out errors that experimental data may present. Although there are mathematical ways for calculating a regression line, in this course, a graphing program will be used to draw the line. Here is an example of a line graph with a regression line drawn by a computer program. Notice that some of the data points are found above the line, while others are below the line. The line represents the average of the errors.

Question 6

organizational chart

Answer 6

diagrams that reveal the overall structure of a group or organization; indirect and direct relationships between the positions in the group or organization are shown

Question 7

pictograph

Answer 7

diagrams that show and compare data by using picture symbols; pictures are used as data; each of the symbols corresponds to a specific quantity and is repeated a number of times

Question 8

pie chart

Answer 8

used to represent categorical data or values of variables; circles that are divided into segments or categories which reflect the proportion of the variables in relation to the whole; percentages are used to compare the segments, with the whole being equal to 100%
