LESSON 3: GRAPHING

Question 1

is either a series of lines joined together, bar or enclosed areas drawn to represent certain statistical information under consideration.
purpose is to convey a simpler idea of what the statistical table contains
intended for comparison, to show correlation, or simply for the purpose of data presentation

Answer 1

GRAPHING

Question 2

PARTS OF A GRAPH

Answer 2

Title, Axis, Legend, Body

Question 3

• must indicate clearly and briefly what the figures in the body of the graph stand for, how the data were classified, when and where obtained.
  placed usually at the bottom of the graph, precede by a number. -
  ex: Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.

Answer 3

TITLE

Question 4

the vertical and the horizontal.
each represents separate scales of classification corresponding to row and column headings of the table being presented
one of the axis is always a quantitative scale.
each axis must be labeled with the appropriate heading.

Answer 4

AXIS

Question 5

this is needed when drawing more than one graph.
this clarifies to what particular item each of the graph refers.
it is placed either at the bottom of the graph or as close as possible to the figures being identified.

Answer 5

LEGEND

Question 6

these are the lines, bars or figures drawn within the graphing space

Answer 6

BODY OF THE GRAPH

Question 7

DIFFERENT TYPES OF GRAPHS AND GRAPH LIKE STRUCTURE

Answer 7

LINE GRAPH
HISTOGRAM
POLYGON
BAR OR STICK GRAPH
PICTORIAL DIAGRAM/ PIE GRAPH
SCATTER POINT DIAGRAM

Question 8

used to graph time series data to depict trends or changes with time

Answer 8

LINE GRAPH

Question 9

used to graph continuous data.
for quantitative continuous data.

Answer 9

HISTOGRAM

Question 10

used to graph continous variables

Answer 10

POLYGON

Question 11

used to graph qualitative variables and discontinuous variables.
used for graph frequency distribution
size of the space between the variable is half the size of the bar
if vertical form should be highest to lowest

Answer 11

BAR OR STICK GRAPH

Question 12

usually in the form of rectangles, square or circle (pie)
used to depict the distribution of a whole, with different segments representing different frequencies ( total of 100%)

Answer 12

PICTORIAL DIAGRAM/ PIE GRAPH

Question 13

used to show relationship of simultaneous measurements.
a correlation table
to relate quantitative variables

Answer 13

SCATTER POINT DIAGRAM
