Graphing

When to Graph Your Data When "a picture could tell billions of words" To impress people Dramatize a research finding Some people think visually To emphasize something that numbers can't communicate well

Scatter Plot - Raw Data

Histogram - Raw Data Should not have gaps

Column Graph - Categorical Independent Variable

Line Graph - All Kinds of Data

Circle/Pie Graph - Category Proportions

Errors 3-D Color Busy

Where Graphs Come From Data analysis programs SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Dedicated graphing software DeltaGraph Spreadsheets Graphing utilities in other programs Word, PowerPoint Called “chart”

Not all Figures are Graphs Charts Communicate concepts pictorially Organizational chart Process chart (next slide) Drawing Photographs
