Chapter 2.3 Time series graphs and Pie Graphs

Time Series Graph A time series graph represents data that occur over a specific period of time. Very similar to line graph

Steps for making a Time-Series Graph 1.Draw and label the x and y axes 2.Label the x axis for time and the y axis for numbers 3.Plot each point according to the table 4.Draw line segments connecting adjacent points. Do not try to fit a smooth curve through the data points

Create a Time Series graph The number of homicides that occurred in the workplace for the years are shown. Draw and analyze a time series graph for the data. Year Number

Time-Series graph of Workplace Homicides

Compound time series graph Two or more data sets can be compared on the same graph called a compound time series graph

Create a compound time series graph Construct a compound times series graph for the data in the table The data represents the number of successful space launches by the United States and Japan for the years Year United States Japan14212

Time series graph of space launches

Pie Graph A pie graph is a circle that is divided into sections or wedges according to the percentage of frequencies in each category of the distribution. The purpose of the pie graph is to show the relationship of the parts to the whole by visually comparing the sizes of the sections.

Steps for creating a pie graph 1.Since there are 360° in a circle, the frequency for each class must be converted into a proportional part of the circle. 2.Convert each frequency to a percentage (not the same as the degrees) 3.Draw your circle graph as accurately as possible (protractors when possible)
