Charts and graphs help
to express complex data in a simple format
. They can add value to your presentations and meetings, improving the clarity and effectiveness of your message. There are many chart and graph formats to choose from.
What is the benefit of using graphs and charts?
The advantage to using graphs and charts is that
they can display a lot of information is an easy to understand format
. For example, a line graph is a great way to show trends over a period of time. You could put numbers in a table, but a line that is consistently going up is much more accessible at a quick glance.
What is the purpose of using graphs?
Graphs are a common method to visually illustrate relationships in the data. The purpose of a graph is
to present data that are too numerous or complicated to be described adequately in the text and in less space
. Do not, however, use graphs for small amounts of data that could be conveyed succinctly in a sentence.
What are the three major types of graph?
Three types of graphs are used in this course:
line graphs, pie graphs, and bar graphs
.
Where do we use graphs in real life?
- Social Graphs.
- Knowledge Graphs.
- Recommendation Engines.
- Path Optimization Algorithms.
- Scientific Computations.
What are the advantage and disadvantage of a chart?
Advantages:
summarize a large dataset in visual form
; easily compare two or three data sets; better clarify trends than do tables; estimate key values at a glance. Disadvantages: require additional written or verbal explanation; can be easily manipulated to give false impressions.

What are the disadvantages of line graphs?
- Plotting too many lines over the graph makes it cluttered and confusing to read.
- A wide range of data is challenging to plot over a line graph.
- They are only ideal for representing data that have numerical values and total figures such as values of total rainfall in a month.
What are the 7 types of graphs?
- Bar Graph.
- Segmented Bar Graph.
- Column Graph.
- Box and Whiskers Graph (also called a Box Plot)
- Frequency Graph (Frequency Table)
- Cumulative Frequency Table.
- Frequency Polygon.
- Histogram.
What are the different types of graph?
- Bar Chart/Graph.
- Pie Chart.
- Line Graph or Chart.
- Histogram Chart.
- Area Chart.
- Dot Graph or Plot.
- Scatter Plot.
- Bubble Chart.
What is the difference between charts and graphs?
The word “chart” is usually used as a catchall term for the graphical representation of data. “Graph” refers to a chart that specifically plots data along
two dimensions
, as shown in figure 1.
What are the 10 types of graph?
- Column Chart.
- Bar Graph.
- Stacked Bar Graph.
- Line Graph.
- Dual-Axis Chart.
- Mekko Chart.
- Pie Chart.
- Scatter Plot.
What is the importance of graphs in our daily lives?
Remember that a good graph
show clear facts and will be visually accurate
. It will grab the attention of the reader and show data clearly. It will demonstrate and be simple. The use of a graph will present data in a quick way, lift out the most important facts and will be easily remembered.
What are disadvantages of using charts?
One disadvantage to charts is that
it can simplify the information, making some of its more complicated aspects less apparent
. A chart is more visually interesting and makes apparent the significant portions of the data, but it does so by emphasizing particular features of the data.
What is a disadvantage of a bar graph?
Disadvantages: Bar charts
that attempt to represent wide ranges of numbers will struggle to efficiently communicate their message
. For example, a bar chart for the numbers 5, 6, 10 and 378 will lend extreme visual weight to the highest value and make the relative values of the other measurements appear irrelevant.
