Instructions
For each question below, create and analyze different graphs based on the given information. Use appropriate graph types and include necessary labels and titles.
Part 1: Create and Label Graphs
1. Create a bar graph to compare the average temperatures (°F) of three cities: City A (75°F), City B (65°F), and City C (85°F). Include a title and labels for the axes.2. Design a line graph to show the population growth of a town over four years: Year 1 (10,000), Year 2 (12,000), Year 3 (14,000), Year 4 (16,000). Add a legend and axis labels.
3. Make a pie chart to represent the favorite colors of a class: Red (5 students), Blue (8 students), Green (3 students), Yellow (4 students). Include a key and a title.
4. Develop a scatter plot to show the relationship between hours studied and test scores: (2, 80), (4, 90), (6, 95), (8, 98). Add a trend line and labels.
Part 2: Graph Analysis
5. What type of graph is best for showing parts of a whole? Why?6. Which graph type is most effective for displaying trends over time? Explain.
7. Compare and contrast bar graphs and pie charts. When would you use one over the other?
8. Explain how to determine the best graph type for a given dataset. Consider the number of variables, data distribution, and purpose of the graph.
