Data Handling: Choice of Graphs by Lynette Tan


  1. Can you identify the one that is not appropriate? 
The Line Graph is inappropriate.
  • Why do you think it's not appropriate?
Line graphs are supposed to show data that changes over a period of time (e.g. a trend). However, the data that was supposed to be represented had nothing to do with time, it was solely about the number of places which are sunny. Thus, I think it's not appropriate.
  • What makes you think the 3 remaining graphs are appropriate?
The 3 remaining graphs show the exact data that's supposed to be represented (the number of places which are sunny). So, the 3 remaining graphs are appropriate.
