  1. Organizing data Chapter 1.3

  2. 3 main kinds of graphs • Line graphs • Bar graphs • Pie charts

  3. Line graphs

  4. Line graphs • displays data that changes • Data that is continuous • X-axis shows the independent variable • Y-axis shows the dependent variable • Can compare data sets

  5. Line graphs

  6. Scatter plot Use scatter plots when the dots are too spread out to properly show the trend if all of the dots are connected. More information on scatter plots

  7. Bar Graphs • Compares similar data for many individual items or events • Clearly demonstrates differences

  8. Bar graphs

  9. Bar Graphs

  10. Pie Charts • Shows parts of a whole

  11. Pie charts • Species of Jalpan, Querétaro, MÉXICO

  12. I'm too sexy by right said Fred I:\General Stuff

  13. Steps in graphing • Label graph; title should state exactly what can be found in the graph • Determine which variables go on the x-axis and y-axis *The independent variable should be on the x-axis • Label axes (including units) • Determine the appropriate distance of units on the axes

  14. 5. Plot the data 6. Make interpretations of the trends.
