Graphical Representation of Data

A bar graph displays categorical data using rectangles of varying heights to represent frequencies in each category, ordered from highest to lowest. A pie chart divides a circle into proportional segments to show the distribution of cases across categories. A line graph connects points plotted for frequencies over intervals to display trends over time.

A bar graph is a way of summarizing a set of categorical data.

It displays the data


using a number of rectangles each of which represents a particular category.
It is used to represent a frequency distribution for a categorical variable, and the
frequencies are displayed by the heights of vertical bars, which are arranged in
order from highest to lowest.
It is a way of summarizing data that are measured on an interval scale (either
discrete or continuous). It is a graph that displays the data by using contiguous
vertical bars (unless the frequency of a class is 0) of various heights to represent the
frequencies of the classes.
It is used to display a set of categorical data. It is a circle, which is divided into
segments. Each segment represents a particular category. The area of each segment
is proportional to the number of cases in that category.
It is particularly useful when we want to show the trend of a variable . Time is
displayed on the horizontal axis and the variable is displayed on the vertical axis.
It is a graph the displays the data by using lines that connect points plotted for the
frequencies at the midpoint of the classes. The frequencies are represented by the
heights of the points. The graph must be closed in both ends along the x-axis with
zero (0) frequency.
(Pronounced as oh-jive) it is a graph that represents the cumulative frequencies for
the classes in a frequency distribution.
When data are collected over a period of time, they can be represented by a time
series graph. It represents data that occur over a specific period of time.
These are the first graph types that kids learn about. In pictographs, smaller picture
represents a certain amount of an item and the pictures in the graphs are stacked up
one after another. Picture fractions represent the portions represented by the picture.
If an approximation would be estimated or given, the pictograph is used for
representing theses amounts visually.
It displays paired data using the vertical or the y-axis and a horizontal axis or the x-
axis. The tools for statistics called correlation and regression are then used for
showing trends on this type of graph.
It displays schematic processes based on the outcome, validity, or answer to a
previous variable. Each of the flow chart’s shapes represents specific actions and the
legend codes are included to inform you. Flow charts consist of inputs and outputs, a
start point and an end point that basic symbols represent.
