LOOKING AT GRAPHS: TYPES, INTERPRETATION, AND MEANING This fine day November the 18 th, 2014 One month left guys!

We’re going to learn about:  Purpose  Uses  Types  Examples And throughout, we’ll look at graphs and practice interpreting them

Purpose of Graphs:  Display, explain, understand quantifiable data  “Quantifiable” means “measurable”  “Data” implies information that has been purposefully collected

Graphs are used in:  Statistics*  Physics  Geology  Environmental Science  Biology  Mineralogy  Media*  Sociology

*…the only problem is… …It’s really easy to lie to people with your graphs. This is done by not having proper  Scaling  Labeling  Sizing  Descriptions  Color choice

Some types of graphs:  Linear  Bar graphs  Gantt charts  Scatter plot  Triangular plot  Quadratic  Sinusoidal

Linear Relationships:

Data set meanings:  No correlation : no apparent meaning can be drawn  No relationship  Positive Relationship: as one quantity increases, so does the other  Possible relationship  Negative Relationship: as one quantity increases, the other does not  Possible relationship

Is there necessarily a relationship?

What are these examples of?

What is this graph saying?

Graph showing the production history of selected gem-quality diamond producing countries. This graph shows how Canada began diamond production in 1998 and quickly became one of the world's leading diamond producers. Values for 2012 are estimated. Graph by Geology.com. Data from USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries.

Bar Graph  Comparing different, but relatable, quantities to each other

This graph illustrates the average oil production from the Eagle Ford Shale in barrels per day. Prior to 2010 the production focus for the Eagle Ford was natural gas. Then, as the focus shifted to the more profitable oil portion of the play, the oil production rate exploded. Graph prepared using data from the Texas Railroad Commission.

Gantt Charts  Showing ranges (timeline, progress, etc.)

Triangular Plot

Quadratic Functions  Remember those kinematic equations, like x = x 0 + v 0 t + ½at 2 ?

Sinusoidal Functions  Sound waves

What do these graphs tell us?
