Chart: visual representation of information or data. The purpose is to help viewers understand and analyze information easily Graph: using mathematical connections (equations) to visualize data and analyze relationships and trends Bar chart Focus: simplify data and categorize them by sections, intervals, groups or individuals Goal: depict the structure, organization, size, etc. of data → comparison Time horizon: short, mid-term or none Remember: the length of each bar is proportional to the value they represent Types: horizontal or vertical Don’t do this with the bar charts… Pie chart Focus: displaying data in a circular-shaped graph Goal: depict proportions, ratios, shares, percentages (slices of a “pie) Time horizon: none → static chart Remember: using not more than 5-6 components (slices) and adding the values in separate labels Types: donut plot, 3D pie chart or exploded pie chart Don’t do this with the pie charts… 7 6 6 5 5 Frequency 4 4 3 2 2 1 1 0 A B C Grades D F Frequency distribution is a grouping of quantitative data into mutually exclusive categories showing the number of observations in each class.
