Graphical Errors
Graphical Errors
Mistakes in charts or graphs that can mislead or misrepresent data.
No Zero Point (Vertical Axis)
No Zero Point (Vertical Axis)
A common graphical error where the vertical axis doesn't start at zero, making changes in data appear larger than they actually are.
Bad Presentation
Bad Presentation
A graphical display that is poorly constructed, making it difficult to read and understand the data.

Study Notes
Business Statistics: Chapter 2
- This chapter covers presenting data in tables and charts.
- Learning objectives include developing tables and charts for categorical and numerical data, and understanding principles of properly presenting graphs.
- Categorical data is summarized using tables and graphs.
- Tabulating data uses summary tables.
- Graphing data uses bar charts, pie charts, and Pareto charts.
- A summary table shows frequency, amount, or percentage of items in categories, making differences between categories easier to see.
- Example: Banking preference data (ATM, telephone, drive-through, in person, Internet) with percentage shown for each.
- Bar charts and pie charts are commonly used for categorical data.
- Bar length or pie slice size reflects category frequency or percentage.
- Bar charts visually display categories and their relative amounts, frequency, or percentage.
- Example: Banking Preference bar chart showing different percentages for each banking method.
- Pie charts display data proportions as slices of a circle.
- Example: Pie chart showing banking preference percentages. Each category is a slice with corresponding percentage.
- Pareto charts show categories in descending frequency order.
- Used to identify important categories from less important ones.
- A vertical bar chart, where categories are displayed in descending order of frequency (a cumulative polygon is also shown on the same graph.
- Numerical data is organized using ordered arrays, stem-and-leaf displays, frequency distributions, histograms, polygons, and ogives.
- Ordered arrays list data from smallest to largest value.
- Shows range (minimum to maximum).
- May help identify outliers (unusual observations).
- Examples of ordered arrays for day and night students.
- Stem-and-leaf displays group data by leading digits (stems) and trailing digits (leaves).
- Makes data distribution and concentrations visible.
- Frequency distributions organize data into classes.
- Important factors are choosing appropriate class numbers and widths to avoid over-lapping classes.
- The class width is calculated by dividing the range by the number of desired classes (e.g. High-Low divided by 5).
- Ranges are needed to ensure no overlap
- Important factors are choosing appropriate class numbers and widths to avoid over-lapping classes.
- Histograms are vertical bar charts of data from frequency distributions.
- Bars have no gaps and use class boundaries (or midpoints) on the horizontal axis and frequency, relative frequency, or percentage on the vertical axis.
- Frequency polygons connect midpoints of class intervals.
- Ogives are cumulative percentage polygons.
- Useful for comparing data across groups.
- Cross-tabulations use contingency tables. Used to analyze relationship between two or more categorical variables, showing joint responses for different categories.
- Specific pairings of row and column categories are measured
- Scatter plots plot pairs of numerical observations on a graph.
- One variable on each axis, to examine possible relationships.
- Time series plots track a numeric variable over time.
- Numeric variable on a vertical axis and time on the horizontal.
- Principles of excellent graphs:
- Avoid distorting data.
- Avoid unnecessary adornments.
- Start the vertical axis at zero.
- Clearly label all axes.
- The graph must have a title.
- Use the simplest graph type for given data.
