What is a graph? A graph is a diagram that shows the values of objects by using lines, bars and slices. There are a number of different kinds of graphs that can be created, including charts, pies (or circles), flow charts and geographical charts.
[readmore]Chart: A chart is made up of a horizontal line and a vertical line. The horizontal line displays advancing numbers, letters or names going from left to right along the horizontal bottom line. The vertical line displays advancing numbers, letters or names going from the bottom to top along the vertical line.
For example, if you were creating a graph chart to show that you have five candies (Hershey, Kit Kat, Baby Ruth, Snickers and Mounds) and you wanted to see how much money you made with each candy, you would list each candy on the horizontal line such as:
____________________________________________________________Then on the vertical line you would list dollar amounts such as $1, $2, etc. or you could list in them measurements of five such as $5, $10, $15, etc. This would look something like:
$15 | | |
| | |
$10 | | |
| | |
$5 | | |
| | |
$1 | | |
| |
The lowest dollar amount would be on the bottom and the highest on the top. The vertical line would intersect with the horizontal line by the $1 and Hershey. As you learn the amount paid on each candy bar you would find the candy bar name and draw a line upward until it reached the dollar amount shown on the vertical line. After checking the sales on each bar you could then look at the chart and see which candy sold the most and which sold the least.
Pie: A pie graph (or circle graph) uses “slices” or “sections” to show size. For example, if you wanted to divide a pizza up to feed ten people, one slice of the pizza would be equal to 1/10 of the pie. The pie would be divided into ten equal sized sections with each section showing a percentage.
Flow: A flow chart is a series of pictures, shapes or subjects that are connected by arrowed lines to show the order of the pictures or shapes or subject. A common flow chart would be a family tree showing the history or flow of ancestors.
Geographical: A geographical chart is a chart of maps that can show population, terrain, industry, climate, health and a wide number of other statistics.

As there is no geographical information given, Answer (a) is not correct. There is also no flow of information so Answer (d) would also not be correct. Although Answer (b) Chart could be used it would not show the best representation of percentages. Answer (c) Pie, however, would work well as it easily demonstrates percentages. Answer (c) is the correct answer
|
As the information given has no percentages we know a pie would not be the best graph nor is there any geographical information given so Answers (b) and (d) are both incorrect. Although this could be shown on a chart, it would not be the best way to display it. When trying to show a flow of a family line (tree), a flow chart is the best graph to use. Answer (a) is the correct answer

No geographical information or percentages are given so both Answer (a) and (d) are not correct. There are also no pictures, shapes or subjects being linked through a flow line so Answer (c) is also not correct. However, we are given statistics that can be placed on a horizontal line and on a vertical line making a chart the perfect graph to demonstrate our subject here. Answer (b) is the correct answer
|
There is no geographical information given nor are there any percentages so neither Answer (b) nor (c) would be correct. The information given describes a process but does not give numbers to chart so Answer (a) would also not be correct. Pictures, shapes or subjects can be shown in the form of a directional flow using lined arrows to show which step comes next in the process. A flow chart would definitely be the best type of graph to use so Answer (d) is correct

Although Answer (d) Chart could be used it would not show the best representation of percentages. Answer (c) Pie, however, would work well as it easily demonstrates percentages. Answer (c) is the correct answer

Using pictures, diagrams or subjects with connecting arrowed lines to show flow will not present this kind of information so Answer (a) Flow is not correct. There are no percentages being given either so Answer (d) Pie is not the correct answer either. A chart could be used but to see the information given, we are looking at geographical information so a geographical chart would be the best kind of graph here. Answer (b) Geographical is the correct answer

As there are no pictures, shapes or subjects that need to be connected by an arrowed line, a flow chart would not be the best type of graph here. Answer (a) is not correct. We also have no geographical information given so Answer (b) is also not correct. There are no percentages provided either so Answer (d) Pie would not be the graph to use. As we have a list of girls and a listing of times, a horizontal and vertical chart would show the best illustration. Answer (c) is the correct answer
