TAILS Teachers’s Favorite Singer T - Title A – Axis title Y Axis = Dependent Variable X Axis = Independent Variable
TAILS T – Title A – Axis I – Interval S – Scale The amount of space between one number and the next The interval is just as important as the scale Choose an interval that lets you make the graph that fits in your paper.
How to determine Intervals The interval is decided by your scale. In this case your scale would be from 2 – 22 and you want the scale to fit the graph. The best interval would be to go by 5’s. Favorite Singer Number of Teachers Toby Keith 22 Madonna 15 Elvis 11 Sting 5 Sinatra 2
