What are the most commonly used graphs for categorical data?

bar graph, pareto graph, and pie chart

bar graph

are a common way to display categorical data and consist of bars that are usually separated from each other. The x-axis usually displays the various categories or levels of the variable of interest, and the y-axis usually displays the frequency, percentage or proportion of each category. However, horizontal bar graphs (x and y swapped) are not uncommon.

pareto graph

named after Vilfredo Pareto, is a type of bar chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative total is represented by the line.

pie chart

a type of graph used to display categorical data in which a circle is divided into sectors or slices that each represent a proportion of the whole. Sometimes percent and or frequency are displayed with the slices.

What are the most commonly used graphs for numerical data?

The most commonly used graphs for displaying numerical data (interval or ratio) are the histogram, time series, box plot, stem and leaf, and frequency polygon.

histogram graph

a graphical display of data using bars of different heights. It is similar to a bar chart, but a histogram usually groups numbers into ranges and is used to display numerical data rather than categorical data. The bars usually touch one another indicating continuous data, but the lines may be separated to designate discrete data was used.

times series graph

a line graph of repeated measurements taken over regular time intervals. Time is always shown on the horizontal axis. On time series graphs data points are drawn at regular intervals and the points joined, usually with straight lines. Time series graphs help to show trends or patterns.

frequency polygon

a type of frequency distribution graph (percentage or relative frequency can also be displayed on the y axis) that can be used to display numerical data. Unlike a histogram, a frequency polygon uses midpoints for each interval rather than the interval itself. A straight line then connects each set of points. The first graph below shows a frequency polygon superimposed over a histogram.

stem and leaf display

a graphical method of displaying numerical data using the actual data rather than lines or bars. It is particularly useful when your data are not too numerous. A stem and leaf graph is a type table where each data value is split into a "stem" (the first digit or digits) and a "leaf" (usually the last digit).

box plot or box and whiskers plot

displays a five number summary (Q1, Q2, Q3, IQR and range. It is a very useful graph for examining symmetry and outliers.

Misleading graphs not starting at zero on y-axis

Not starting at 0 on the y-axis can exaggerate the differences between or among your categories. There are occasions where not starting at 0 is appropriate.

Consider the following score diagram.
1 2
2. 1 3
3 2 4 6 7
4. 2 3 5 6 8
5. 1 3 4 4 5 6 8
6. 3 3 3 5 6 7 8 8 9 9 9
7. 2 2 2 3 3 4 5 5 5 6 6 7 7 7
8. 1 1 1 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 6 6
9. 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 7

false

The stem and leaf plot is useful for small, numerical data sets.

true

The histogram is commonly used with categorical data.

What is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights quizlet?

A histogram is a bar graph in which the horizontal scale represents classes of data values and the vertical scale represents frequencies. The heights of the bars correspond to the frequency​ values, and the bars are drawn adjacent to each other​ (without gaps).

What is a graphical display of data using bars?

A bar graph is a graphical representation of information. It uses bars that extend to different heights to depict value. Bar graphs can be created with vertical bars, horizontal bars, grouped bars (multiple bars that compare values in a category), or stacked bars (bars containing multiple types of information).

What type of graph is used for scale data?

Bar charts and pie charts are most frequently used for nominal and ordinal variables. Scale variables are most frequently represented by line charts and histograms.
