Graph The purpose of a graph is to present data in a pictorial format that is easy to understand. A graph should make sense without any additional explanation needed from the body of a report. Every part of a graph should be absolutely necessary. Keep it simple.

Types of Graphs The type of graph one uses depends on the type of data collected and the point one is trying to make. In determining what type of graph to make, it is often useful to sketch out a graph to see whether it makes sense or is expressing the idea you wish to convey. Four of the most common types of graphs are discussed here.

Types of Data

Bar Graphs Bar graphs are often used when comparing values from two or more groups or categories. It's a fast way to show big differences. Notice how easy it is to see what was done in the experiment below with cereal plant growth and different rates of nitrogen fertilizer.

Line Graphs A line graph is used to show continuing data; how one thing is affected by another. It's clear to see how things are going by the rises and falls a line graph shows. This kind of graph is needed to show the effect of an independent variable on a dependent variable. In the sample below, the pulse rate of a person is shown to change over time. As time continues, the pulse rate changes. A typical chart for this graph might look like this:

Line Graph

Pie Graph A circle graph is used to show how a part of something relates to the whole. This kind of graph is needed to show percentages effectively. A typical chart for this graph might look like this:

Pie Graph Example: Cases of accidental poisoning seen at a particular Saudi hospital in a particular year were classified by the type of ingested poison [El Mouzan et al. (1986)]. Type of poisonFrequency Kerosene or gasoline148 Clorox (bleach)117 Soap or shampoo4 Drugs (medications)72 Chemicals19

Scatter Plots Scatter plots are often used to visualize a correlation between two parameters. For example, if one wished to see whether there was a relationship between the daily average percent relative humidity and the daily average temperature (in c) we could construct a scatter diagram. for a sample of days taken in the Qassim region [Moustafa et al. (1978)]

Linear Regression

We can predict now the percent relative humidity for any given temperature using the following equation: Y= – 1.68* X Where X=temperature,Y=relative humidity.

Extra Example on Blocking In a study it was desired to know the effect of water stress on the protein content of wheat. Because the protein content of wheat is known to differ from one variety to another, six local varieties of Saudi wheat were chosen for the experiment and it was assumed that there is no interaction between the wheat varieties and the water stress levels on the protein content. Therefore, three plots of each type of wheat were chosen and randomly assigned to the three levels of water stress, namely three watering intervals of every 10, 16, and 22 days. After harvest, the wheat from each plot was separately ground into flour, and the protein content (as a percent of the dry weight) was measured [Based on Basahy (1990)].

Results Using the randomized block design there is a significant difference in the protein content using different levels of water stress while using the simple one way anova there is no significant difference at  =0.01.
