How to determine Intervals Decide on an appropriate scale for each axis. Choose a scale that lets you make the graph as large as possible for your paper and data How to determine Intervals Population (millions) Time (years) 5 8 20 16 45 24 80 32 The interval is decided by your scale. In this case your y-scale would be from 0 – 80 and your x-scale would be from 0 – 32 . The graph paper is 8 x 7
Choose an interval that lets you make the graph as large as possible for your paper and data 10 80 ÷ 8 = 10 32 ÷ 7 = 4.57 Always round up! 5
