Line Plot
This graph is usually used when there is
one group of data and fewer than 50
values. The graph consists of a horizontal
number line and each value (or category)
of the set is marked over the
corresponding value (or category) on the
number line. The number of marks over
each value indicates how many times each
value (or category) of the set occurred.
This type of graph is useful for analyzing
and comparing categorical and numerical
data.
Scatterplot
A type of graph that can be used to show
whether there is a relationship between
two quantities. To make predictions with
this graph, look for correlations in the data
or a pattern in the data points. Patterns in
the graph are usually called trends. The
trend may not be true for every point, but
look for an overall pattern the data may
seem to fit. This type of graph is useful for
analyzing and comparing numerical data.
Stem-and-Leaf Plot
A type of graph that shows how many
entries you have in certain classes of
numbers and what those entries are. It is a
way to organize data in ascending or
descending order. This type of graph is
useful for analyzing and comparing
numerical data.
Venn Diagram
A type of graph that shows overlaps in
data. It is used to show how many pieces
of data have a certain property in common.
The data in each section of the graph
show how many values fall within each
category.

Notes: Titles, Labels and Scales of Graphs
x Title: Should be easy to understand. Should explain the main topic of the graph.
x Labels: Separate the data into appropriate groups. Must be representative of the data.
x Scale:Should include all data. Equal intervals throughout. Does not have to start at 0.

Box and Whisker
A type of graph that is helpful in
interpreting the distribution of data. The
graph consists of the median, the quartiles,
and the smallest and greatest values in the
distribution. The graph displays the center,
the spread, and overall range of
distribution of the data. This type of graph
is useful for analyzing and comparing
numerical data.
Circle Graph
A type of graph that compares the
numbers in a set of data by showing the
relative sizes of the parts that make up a
whole. The graph represents the whole,
which is made up of all the data elements.
Each section of the graph represents parts
of the whole. This type of graph is useful
for analyzing and comparing categorical
data.
Histogram
A type of graph that uses bars of different
heights or lengths to show the number of
data that falls within specific intervals of
values. The data’s range should be divided
into equal intervals, and the bars are
drawn together. This type of graph is
useful for analyzing and comparing
numerical data.

Bar Graph
A type of graph that uses bars of different
heights or lengths to show the number or
percentage of items in different categories
of data. The bars are not drawn together,
since the axis represents categories. This
type of graph is useful for analyzing and
comparing categorical data.

A type of graph that shows points plotted
on a coordinate grid. The points are
connected by line segments. The plotted
points represent data presented as pairs of
numbers. This graph is particularly useful
for showing changes in data over a period
of time. This type of graph is useful for
analyzing and comparing numerical data
over time.
