Study Notes

Blood Type Differences in Populations

A double bar graph enables simultaneous comparison of two sets of data across populations.
Populations analyzed include Europeans, Americans, and Dunkers.
Categories on the vertical axis represent blood types: A, B, Rh, M, MN, N.

Average Tuition at CSUF and UCI

The grouped bar graph compares tuition costs at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), and the University of California, Irvine (UCI).
Observations can be made regarding the changes in tuition over time.

Horizontal Bar Graphs

Horizontal bar graphs can display data such as fruit sales over specified dates.
In the example provided, sales of apples, oranges, mangoes, star fruit, and papaya over two days are presented in kilograms.

Scatter Plots

Scatter plots are used to explore relationships between two dependent variables.
Each variable is assigned its own axis; a "best fit curve" indicates the relationship between them.
A strong linear relationship appears when the curve closely fits the data points.

Shaquille O’Neal’s Growth Data

Historical data of Shaquille O'Neal’s height, weight, and shoe size from age 4 to 25 can be utilized to create graphs.
Significant milestones include reaching 7'1" and 310 pounds by age 25.

Spending on "Back to College"

In 2007, US families spent $47.3 billion on back-to-college purchases, averaging $956.93 per student.
Key expenditure categories may include textbooks, housing, and shoes.

Pie Charts

Pie charts represent data as a percentage of a whole, illustrating composition rather than comparisons.
Useful for visualizing the distribution of ingredients in a dish, such as the composition of a pizza.

Graph Labels and Legends

Each graph must include axis labels and legends for clarity and to explain the data visually.
Important terms related to data graphs: dependent, independent, line, linear, scatterplot, title, percentage.

Data Analysis Terms

Mean, median, and mode are key statistical measures for data analysis.
Understanding graph terminology and functions is essential for both creating and interpreting graphs in data representation.
