Graphical Presentation of Data
Graphical Presentation of Data
➢It is an effective and economic device for the presentation, understanding and
interpretation of the collected data.
IMPORTANCE OF
GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION
• It is used to make the data understandable to common man.
• Step 1. Choose the type of bar chart that stresses the results to be focused on.
Grouped and stacked bar charts will require at least two classification variables. For
a stacked bar chart, tally the data within each category into combined totals before
drawing the chart.
• Step 2. Draw the vertical axis to represent the values of the variable of comparison
(e.g., number, cost, time). Establish the range for the data by subtracting the
smallest value from the largest. Determine the scale for the vertical axis at
approximately 1.5 times the range and label the axis with the scale and unit of
measure.
• Step 3. Determine the number of bars needed. The number of bars will equal the
number of categories for simple or stacked bar charts. For a grouped bar chart, the
number of bars will equal the number of categories multiplied by the number of
groups. This number is important for determining the length of the horizontal axis.
• Step 4. Draw bars of equal width for each item and label the categories and the
groups. Provide a title for the graph that indicates the sample and the time period
covered by the data; label each bar.
BAR GRAPH
HISTOGRAM
• A histogram is essentially a bar graph of a frequency distribution.
• Step 4. Provide a title for the pie chart that indicates the sample
and the time period covered by the data.
